I was rasied Catholic and attended catholic grade school. We were told to pray for something really important and we would receive it through Jesus. Well I started to pray for this really cute outfit I saw in a window store. I prayed for that outfit to 'appear' on my bed for weeks. Needless to say, the outfit did not 'appear'. But a year later I received an outfit almost exactly like the one I prayed for, as a gift. How silly of me to think Jesus would give me something so material as a outfit. But, because of the way I prayed I do beleive He made it possible for me to receive it.
