God: While you are gritting your teeth?
Woman: Well.....
God: What could you be doing instead?
Woman:......Lord, I thank You for the opportunity to serve.
God: That's better, keep going.
Woman: Lord, I ask that you bless the people that have asked this of me. Bless them with Your presence and grace and blessings. Give them happiness and answer to prayers. Lord, I ask that you forgive me for my resentful attitude and hard heart. Please make me clean and right and take out this stony heart, and replace it with a soft one. A heart of service and blessing, love and good cheer.
