A farmer had two daughters. The elder one was married to a farmer. The younger daughter was married to a potter. The father used to visit his daughters frequently. During one of his visits, the elder daughter requested him to pray for more frequent rains as their growing crops were badly in need of water. He agreed. Then he visited his younger daughter. She told him that they wanted more sunshine to get their clay pots dried in the sun for hardening. She wanted him to pray for more sunshine without any rain. The poor father was in great confusion as his daughters were demanding his prayers for contradictory gifts. Finally he took a bold decision and prayed, “God, do as you wish. May your will be done!” Dearly beloved Friends and Readers: A child may see a sharp and shining knife and cry to get it as a toy. But no loving parent will give such a dangerous gift to a little child. This explains why many of our prayers are not answered immediately. God, as our loving father, knows our future and grants only those gifts which we deserve. Alway remember that “Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance but co-operating with His willingness”. God has plans to bring us prosperity and not disaster. In prayers, it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart. The fewer the words, the better is the prayer. The family that prays together stays together.... Lets us build our homes with a solid cement called PRAYER! I love you all
