During my O levels, someone in church told me about this story that was recounted by a character in a movie.
In a land that was experiencing severe drought,two farmers were praying to God. "Please give us rain,for the land is dry and the crops cannot grow," the farmers prayed hard. However after praying, only one of the farmer went to prepare his fields for rain. Rain soon came and the farmer that prepared his field for the rain yielded harvest while the other farmer could not prepare his fields in time and did not get anything.
From this story,I learned to trust God and never doubt him. Prayers will be answered,because he is God.This story came into my mind when I was preparing for my Chinese O level exams. I got a merit for my oral and I though that my grade could not get any better. I took out my calculator to calculate the minimum number of marks that I must get to obtain an A1. The numbers were high and I thought to myself that I could never make it. Then I thought about this story and prayed.
