The document discusses how God answers prayers. It shares several examples of people asking God for things like removing habits, healing illnesses, granting patience, and happiness. In each case, God's response is "No" and explains that the person must find those things within themselves or learn from difficult situations rather than having them directly given by God. The overall message is that prayer does not change God's plans but can change what God does to help people grow and learn.

to give it up

His spirit is whole, his body is only
temporary

it isn’t granted, it is learned

God said No
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to
you

You must grow on your own! But I will
prune you to make you faithful.

all things.

9. I asked God to Love others, as much as

God. But prayer does change the action
of God." Chuck Smith
