Time to Pray to God!

Deepak
A man went to a Saint to see him. Saint asked - "What is up? How come you are here to see me?" He said to the Saint - "I am a businessman, I have a huge empire and lots of wealth. I wish to pray to Great God, but I remain too busy to spare some time for prayers, would you please guide me how I can find some time for prayers." The Saint asked him to sit for few minutes.

The Saint told him that before you came, there were three visitors who came to see me. The Saint said that first one told him - "Sir, my wife is a very religious and pious lady and she helps me perform my prayers to the Great God and before I start my day's activities I make sure to pray to God."

The Saint took a short break and said that the second visitor told him - "Sir, I am not getting along well with my wife. She does not love me at all and our relations are estranged. So, I find sufficient time for making prayers to God and I feel very happy in this way.

The Saint added further that the third visitor told him - "Sir, I am unmarried, so there is no question of wife or family. I find plenty of time to offer my prayers to God and I have no problem in this regard."

The Saint finally advised him - "If you really wish to pray to God, if is for you to spare some time. If you have dedication and you can make yourself understand, you would definitely spare some time for prayers. The one who can overcome his heart always wins, therefore, you should learn how to control your heart. This way you will succeed in your mission."

Moral of the story - 'Where there is a will, there is a way'.

    Arrêter de dire que vous n'avez pas de temps! Car la vie est une question de choix, de son à vous sur ce qui va vous choisissez! Prenez le temps de prier, de parler à Dieu!

    Yes your story upholds a good morale ...."Where there is a will there is a way."..
    .Yes this is true for each one of us.....Very often when we are busy,and happy too.... we tend to forget to pray to god.........But it is in times of stress and during testing times, that we invariably do find time to pray to god and pray fervently for his blessings....
    .And this attitude has been clearly brought out in your narration......
    .well done.....,Deepak,nay chocolate uncle.......ha..ha....
