Chapter 17 Chapter Seventeen

Even people without faith, when they encounter disasters, don't they call for God's blessing?Has a man ever cried out in the face of danger, death, or some unseen or incomprehensible mystery?Where did this strong instinct spring from the lips of every creature at the moment of danger? Swipe your hand in front of someone's eyes, and you will find his eyelids blink instinctively; tap on his knee, and his legs will jump; frighten a friend in the dark, and he will instinctively He yelled "Oh my God". Whether you are religious or not, no one can deny these natural phenomena.All creatures in the world, including humans, have the instinct to seek help.Why do we have this instinct, this gift?

Isn't our cry a way of prayer?People cannot understand that in a world governed by natural laws, God has given this instinct of calling for help to sheep, donkeys, birds, and human beings, and at the same time stipulated that the voice of calling for help should be heard and heard by an extraordinary power. Responded.From now on, I will pray, but I only ask for guidance. I never seek material satisfaction.I do not ask a servant to bring me food, nor a house, nor gold, nor treasure, nor love, nor health, nor small victories, fame, success, nor happiness.I just ask for guidance, to be shown the way to get these things, and my prayers are answered.

I may or may not get the guidance I pray for, but aren't both results an echo?If a child asks his father for bread, and the bread is not received, isn't that also the father's answer? I'm praying for guidance, praying as a salesman-- Almighty Lord, help me!Today, I come into this world alone and naked, and without your hands to guide me, I would be far from success and happiness. I don't ask for money or clothes, I don't even ask for opportunities that suit my abilities, I just ask You to guide me to abilities that suit the opportunities. You taught lions and eagles how to forage with teeth and talons.Teach me how to live with words and prosper with love, so that I may be a lion among men and an eagle in business.

help me!Allow me to be humble in the face of setbacks and failures, and to see the rewards of victory. Give me the work that others cannot do, and guide me to get the seeds of success from their failures.Let me face my fears so that I can sharpen my spirit.Give me the courage to laugh at my own doubts and timidity. Give me enough time so that I can reach my goal.Help me to cherish each day as if it were my last. Guide me to do what I say, and what I do is fruitful.Keep me silent in gossip. Push me, let me get into the habit of trying again and again.Teach me how to use the law of balance.Keeping me sensitized to take chances.Give me patience to concentrate my strength.

Let me develop good habits and get rid of bad habits.Give me compassion, to sympathize with the weaknesses of others.Let me know that all shall pass, yet count the daily bounty. Show me what hatred is, make it familiar to me.But fill me with love that turns strangers into friends. But all these prayers must be according to your wishes.I'm just an insignificant figure, like the solitary grape hanging on the vine.But you make me different.In fact, I must have a special place.Guide me, help me, show me the way ahead. When you plant me, let me sprout in the vineyard of the world, let me be all that you have planned for me.

Help me, my humble salesman! Lord, guide me!
