““Amy Carmichael's mother taught her to ask anything of God, for He promises to hear and answer. So three-year-old Amy knelt at her bedside and fervently prayed: "Dear Lord please make my brown eyes blue. Amen." With those words she slipped into bed and fell asleep, confident that she would awake with dazzling blue eyes. In the morning Amy rushed to the mirror only to discover that her eves were as brown as ever. As a wave of disappointment rolled over her, she suddenly realized that "no" is as much an answer as "yes." She had learned a valuable lesson. The Lord does answer prayer, but often the answer is no.””
