Evan Almighty
I had just reluctantly watched the movie and here's what i need to say... In the scene where Evan's wife abandoned him, she was having a breakfast at a diner and everyone there were laughing at how foolish Evan was building the ark. She then talks to Morgan Freeman who plays God and here was their conversation.

Wife:

But my husband says God told him to do it. W-what do you do with that?

God:

Sounds like an opportunity... Let me ask you something... If someone prays for patience, you think God will give'em patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?

If they pray for courage does God give them courage or does he give them opportunities to be courages?

If someone prayed for the family to be closer? Do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings? Or does he give them opprotunities to love each other?

Wife:

(grunts in disbelief of the wisdom)

God:

well I gotta run, got alot of people to serve enjoy

I had never (neither did I intend to) watch the movie thinking it was absolutely stupid....it was actually...but this is God's truth...it was his character to have said what was reflected in the conversation above.This is the simple truth we tend to misundestand...all the time... we totally limit God with the way we think he can work and answer our prayers...

Today, Im in thailand, a missionary working among the thais, and a student at the university. These three prayers made 5 years ago were fufilled 5 months ago... God is good, all the time... Now for my family...
