“Give me patience, Lord,” you ask
He gives you a chance to learn patience
You do not see
“God does not listen to me,” you say
“Give me courage, Lord,” you ask
Other chances to make you overcome fear
You do not see
“God does not love me,” you say
“Give me love, O! God,”- you ask
You get a chance to work on the relationship
You do not see
“God has abandoned me,” you say
“Give me health, O! Lord,” you ask
He sends sickness so that you can learn humility
You complain
“God does not exist,” you declare
“Punish my brother, O! Lord,”
He tells you to talk to learn tolerance
You do not listen
“God has forgotten me,” you say
You want everything given on a tray
But He gives lessons, demands understanding, trust
You are angry
“God has abandoned me,” you say
You doubt...you constantly want more and more
You don't see that He gives what you need
You don't trust
“God doesn't listen to me,” you say
