Matthew Henry wrote a prayer of thanks on the night he was robbed.
If it were me, I would have asked for divine intervention, rapid aphrension, a swift trial and a no-nonsense judge.
But Henry’s prayer was one of thanksgiving.
“I thank Thee. First, because I was never robbed before
Second, because altho’ they took my belongings, they did not take my life.
Third, altho’ they took everything I had, it was not much.
And fourth, becuase it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.”
In other words, Thanks for the robbery!
Please, share with a friend if you feel moved.
