Three Wishes you want from GOD

[MagicalKingdom]

I want to know what are the three wishes you want from GOD in your prayer.

1. To bring happiness in the world
2. To keep smile on every human face
3. To bring freedom

How about you?

 

[Kim&Chris]

I'd ask God for

1. The end of disease and suffering
2. The end of war
3. To save the Earth, because we're doing a bang-up job destroying it.

!. My kids to live long and happy lives
2. For an end to child abuse
3. For everyone to come to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior

Pretty much what I would ask for.

What I'd really like is to have some of the world's mysteries solved - like who killed Jon Benet? Where is Natalee Holloway's body? What happened to Madeleine McCann?

Because all of those other things are noble indeed but I don't think God is responsible for any of them - mankind has to make changes to bring those about. But God could totally solve these mysteries and I would really like to know the answers to them before I die.

Also I'd like the winning lottery numbers so I could be a philanthropist.

And I think this thread is religious and will be locked or poofed in a few minutes....

First of all, I thought religious posts were not allowed?

Otherwise, if I had 3 wishes (not necessarily from a God, could be a Genie),

I would wish for (taking from others posting above)

1) The end of disease and suffering (which would pretty much end war, child abuse or anybody that is suffering)

2) Saving the planet

3) Global Tolerance. Tolerance of all religious beliefs, races, sexual orientation, etc.

 

[Tinkerdreams]

1. My entire family accept the Lord Jesus as savior
2. Jesus to come back.
3. Jesus to come back NOW!!

God knows we need him the sooner the better.

I agree with you that mankind is responsible for all those noble wishes - God put us here to do it, and we are failing miserably. So, under Things I Want God to Do - get rid of mosquitoes is the first thing that comes to mind. I'll have to think about the others.....

 

[GRUMPY PIRATE]

Hmmm, thats a tough one....

how about:


1. get rid of false idol worship(enough with trying to dieify a dead entertainer)

2. get rid of false prophets (send me 20 bucks and you will be saved)

3. lower prices at WDW (hey, I had to have ONE for me!)

 

[Acklander]

I've never been big on praying for things or events so I don't really have a top 3 list. About the only thing I've prayed for is the strength to handle whatever is meant to be. So I guess I can pray for that 3 times.

 

[LuvOrlando]

1. That every single child and animal abuser be stricken from the planet at once and every victims mind wiped clear of all memories so the cycle would really stop once and for all.

2. That my family be protected and if protection is un-doable either speed us up, slow us down or bump us off course with anyone or anything that means to do us harm

3. That my family be given the grace of Faith and that we all be blessed with health, happiness, peace and enough money to keep us safe

But I always back off in the end with a "Please grant us with whatever is best for us. You know all things so I'll accept your decisions. Your will be done.

How is this even allowed?

You got me... if I made a post about the three things you would wish from Allah, or whether God exists, you can bet it would get shut down quickly.

Just for fun, 3 things:

1, for all christians to accept that some people believe something different and to stop trying to shove their religion down my throat, and that I am NOT going to "hell" for having my own fully developed moral compass without religion

2, for all crazy street preachers to disappear

3, why God allows groups like the westboro baptist church to use him as an excuse for hate, and why he so hated innocent people of other sexuality and religions.

Those are the three things I would ask God for, if he indeed exists.

I commend you on your bravery. Prepare to be eaten alive.

 

[kydisneyfans]

1-for people to stop moaning about religious threads on the Disboards.
2-for a complete regime change at the head of the US Government over the next 2 years.
3-health and happiness for my family.

If someone...anyone...would give me 3 wishes today?
The only thing on my mind would be happiness for my daughter.

Don't 2 & 3 directly contradict point 1. I agree with 1, but it doesn't just apply to the particular group you mention as evidenced by the intolerance in 2 & 3. Tolerance is good if it's genuine, which then demands it be evenly distributed, if not it's just a manipulative tool. Curious how people can easily see the flaws in others but never the very same flaws in themselves.

I think it is best to get one's own house in order before getting all "Better Homes and Gardens" on the rest of the world. Just saying...

PS, I normally let this stuff slide but since it is a blatant direct insult to me, assuming my demographic defines my approach to the world, I'm just not going to let it go unanswered.

I think this is my new favorite quote...not just in relation to this thread, but in general!

As for the thread topic, I don't believe God is a genie who grants wishes. I pray for the strength and grace to handle whatever He brings my way with humility and integrity.
