A Powerful Prayer–Funny
A man walking along a California beach was deep
in prayer. Suddenly, the sky clouded above his head and, in
a booming voice, the Lord said, "Because you have TRIED to be
faithful to me in all ways I will grant you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over
anytime I want."
The Lord said, " Your request is very materialistic.
Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of
undertaking. The supports to the bottom of the
Pacific! The concrete and steel it would take! It
will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can
do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly
things. Take a little more time and think of something that
would honor and glorify me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said,
"Lord, I wish that I could understand my wife.
I want to know how she feels inside, what she’s
thinking when she gives me the silent treatment, why she
cries, what she means when she says nothing’s wrong, and how I
can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "Do you want two lanes or four on that
bridge?"
