Buddhism for you -- Prayer 16

The struggle we go through to have our prayers answered makes us stronger.
If we were to immediately get everything we prayed for, we would become spoiled and decadent.
We would lead indolent lives, devoid of any hard work or struggle.
As a result, we would become shallow human beings.
What, then, would be the point of faith?

******
There are no rules governing how we should pray.
There's no need to be something we aren't.

******
Buddhism is reason.
Our prayers cannot be answered if we fail to make efforts appropriate to our situation.
