On Prayer and other things in life

This is actually a forwarded email I received from a friend. I thought it would be nice to share it here with all of you... to ponder on...

"Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it
is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.

Do you know why a Car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is
so small?
Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. Look Ahead and Move
on.

Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes
years to write.

All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not
last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.

Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond,
don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base
of Gold!

Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above
and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!

When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD
doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

A blind person asked Swami Vivekanand: "Can there be anything worse than
losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and
sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed
for you.

WORRYING does not take away tomorrows' TROUBLES, it takes away today’s
PEACE."

God bless!
