MY BATHTUB IS USED TO MARINATE MYSELF IN WATER.

PRAYER

I asked God to take away my pain.

God said, No

It is not for me to take away.

But for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, No

His spirit is whole,

His body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No

Patience is a byproduct of tribulations;

It isn't granted, it is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, No

I give you blessings;

Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No

Suffering draws you apart from worldy cares

And  brings you closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, No

You must grow on you own,

But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God to bring things that I might enjoy life.

God said, NO

I will give you life

So that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me love others.

God said, Ahhh ….

Finally you have the idea ...
