“Everything you ask and pray for, God provides. If you ask for wisdom, He will give you an opportunity to become wise. If you ask for strength, He will grant you an opportunity to discover your inner strength. If you ask for patience, He will grant you an opportunity to master patience. If you ask for courage, He will grant you an opportunity to become courageous. If you ask for hope, He will grant you an opportunity to become hopeful. If you ask for peace, He will grant you an opportunity to create and discover the peace you truly need. You don't receive because you don't believe and have faith to make it manifest. God always provides what we ask for.”
