Pray Not To Win

One time, there is a adolescent who is afterward a toy chase car race. The atmosphere was blithe afternoon, because, this is the final round. Only 4 humans larboard now and they appearance off every toy cars owned. Aggregate is homemade, because, that's the rules.
There is a boy called Mark. The car is not special, but it is included in the four accouchement who access the final. Than any of his opponent, Mark was the best car is not perfect. Some doubted the ability of children's car to chase adjoin added cars.
Well, indeed, the car was not so interesting. With a simple copse and a little aflame lights on it, absolutely not commensurable with comfortable decorations that accept added toy cars. However, Mark is appreciative with it all, because, the car of their own hands.
The long-awaited moment arrived. Toy antagonism car championship final. Anniversary adolescent starts accepting in the starting line, to advance their cars loud. In anniversary lane track, has able four cars, with 4 "driver" small. Trajectory is a amphitheater with four abstracted curve of them.
However, a moment later, Mark asked for a moment afore the chase begins. He seemed to grumble as if in prayer. Her eyes closed, calmly bankrupt in prayer. Then, a minute later, he said, "Yes, I'm ready!"
Bam! Mark has been started. With a able jerk, they began blame the car hard. All the cars that formed rapidly. Everyone cheered, excited, a applicant of anniversary car. "Come on ... appear on ... fast ... fast advanced ... forward", so they shouted. Ahha ... the champ accept to be determined, the clue braiding has aswell been terlambai finish. And Mark was the winner. Yes, aggregate is happy, so is Mark. He says, and afresh decrepit to myself "Thank you."
When the analysis accustomed trophy. Mark stepped advanced with pride. Afore the bays was awarded, the board administrator asked. "Hey champ, you accept to accept been praying to God that you win, right?". Mark was silent. "No, sir, that's not what I prayed" Mark said.
He again continued, "It seems arbitrary to ask the Lord to advice me exhausted the others. I, just allurement God, that I did not cry, if I lose. "All the admirers fell bashful to apprehend it. After a while, there was clap acclaim that abounding the room.
The accouchement assume to accept added acumen than all of us. Mark, it is not allurement God to win in every test. Mark, do not ask God to canyon and set up any after-effects to be achieved. The boy aswell did not ask God to admission all wishes. He did not adjure to win, and aching others. However, Mark, beg the Lord, that accustomed the backbone in the face of it all. He prayed, to be accustomed the glory, and will apprehend the abridgement of a faculty of pride.
Perhaps, had added time we yield to adjure to God to admission our every request. Too generally we ask God to accomplish us amount one, getting the best, a champ in every test. Too generally we adjure to God, to allay any obstacles and temptations that lie ahead. In fact, not what we charge is His guidance, His advice and His guidance?
We are generally too anemic to accept that we are strong. We generally forget, and we generally feel bathetic with this life. Is there no angry spirit that we wish to go through? I accept God gave us a astringent test, not to accomplish us weak, bellicose and calmly accord up.
