My Pet Fears

I have always been afraid to face certain things in life and some of them are failure, loneliness and illness. People often say that God tests us by making us go thru many crises to check us out or to make us stronger. My question to the person sitting upstairs is- Why couldn't you choose someone else to make them stronger, brighter like steel? At times I feel that the theory of more-of-the-same-kind is good  is pretty flawed.Does going again and again through many problems make you stronger or weakens and kills you finally. It is hard to say for sure.

All books written by those know-all self development gurus( believe me the world is full of them!) assure you of success if you keep on trying. I also agree to it.
I only ask God
"Hey buddy, why do not you choose some other lucky guy?" "I could recommend some(sic)"
"What if you lessen the period and add a few rainbows to it?"
"What if you could just bypass me this time?"

All these and many more of the same kind. I hope you get my drift

I have often read the adage that if life has handed you lemons, make lemonade.

Ugh! Imagine sustaining oneself on lemonade only. Surely we deserve some wine now and then?
Also think what all these vast quantities of 'lemonade' will do to your 'insides'.

Dear Lord, pl send some apples once in a while and if you can add strawberries to it.............WOW
