a friend's prayer

a friend of mine from college recently posted a facebook note and he labeled it "prayer"
after reading it i wanted to save it somewhere. what better place than here--

"Let's be honest here. 80% of self-claimed unhappy people believe their dissatisfaction in life roots from the lack of wealth. Unfortunately, I cannot resist to say I am becoming or already have become a believer in money like them. They say, "money can't buy happiness," but I am starting to believe it is a poor man's excuse for not making enough. As I am getting older and older, I am learning how much wealth I need in my life. At the same time, I am learning how terrible it feels to be unable to reach certain living standards I am expecting. If money cannot buy peace in my life, I would rather be rich and unhappy because I feel I would not be happy without it anyway.

I never have thought about my life this way and I really do not know what have I become. Lord, I sincerely pray that you prove me wrong. I pray that my doubts and questions are born not to deny you but to break myself and understand you more for I do not wish to merely accept you without knowing what I believe in."
