Gift of faith!
For years I prayed Allah(SWT) for 3 things (along with several more 
) which I thought I need as badly as oxygen but I just got 0.5 of the 3 things I prayed so hard for. When I came to know that I’m no way getting the 1st thing..I wept and mourned over it for months until I got the half of the 2nd thing; but when I didn’t get the remaining half, I cried this time not for months not even for weeks or days but for mere few hours. Today, when I came to know that I haven’t got the 3rd thing in the list as well, I at first felt a little down but this feeling didn’t last for more than 10 mins 
Sound of Azaan-e-Asr entered my ears, went to offer prayers and came back all refreshed. My faith tells me that He(SWT) has better plans for me and He(SWT) will never leave me disappointed. He is there to take care of all my problems and worries. Belief and patience is what brings peace of mind.
Has anyone of you ever wondered why children are so carefree? Out of many reasons, one is probably that they have this faith that their parents who are stronger than them are there to take care of them and solve all their problems. In a similar way, if we start believing that Allah(SWT) who’s the Almighty hence certainly stronger than us is there, and his love is 70 times stronger than that of our mother’s so, he’ll bring the BEST to us, life becomes a lot more beautiful and peaceful Alhamdulilah.
"O you who believe! Seek help with patient perseverance (sabr) and prayer…" (al-Baqarah 2:153)
Web reference is this
I read once that believers seek goodness and beauty in every event.I now understand it well 
That’s very good!
Perhaps we could pray simply to thank the Almighty for all that He has granted us and to ask for the welfare of all (which, obviously, includes us as well).

The thought that Allah exists and keeps a careful watch over us provides us a strong sense of security… Those who don’t believe in the existence of God will hardly find peace within, I bet!
May Allah keep us have faith in Him at every turn of life.
Nice post, MashaAllah.

Kids can weep and wail and stay cross for a few days but their parents won’t still buy them something that they don’t deem good enough..
I pray to God to put my heart in whatever that God thinks is best for me. I think it’s a beautiful prayer.
And hey, I’ve given your blog an award. Check out the hinstance ceremony.

Beautifully put…glass half empty half full. If you got 0.5 of wishes 1 & 2 then you are doing OK in my book!! 1 of 3 ain’t bad
…but seriously… May Allah grant us all, that which is best for us and the wisdom to understand
