(July 11, 2015 at 10:57 am)Nope Wrote: When my husband was deployed I made the mistake of telling my mother that I was praying for strength, patience and wisdom. She immediately told me not to pray for those things because god would do horrible things in my life to teach me those values. Strangely enough, she wasn't the only person who expressed terror at asking for things like strength or patience. Apparently, some of these people believe if you ask for patience, for example, then god would  create events in your life that would frustrate or even harm you so that you will learn patience.

I would encourage you to pray for anything...and let God answer as He sees fit.

However, I see the logic of their counsel.

How does one learn patience if not by trial?
