Opportunity

"Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God
gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he
prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities
to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think
God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to
love each other? "

- God from the movie, Evan almighty
