"Help Me Bear This Burden"

Mark Wolter:

CNN recently interviewed Phillip Yancey. 

CNN: How is the practice of Christianity different in China than in the U.S.? 

Yancey: At my church, when something bad happens, people immediately ask God to fix it: get me a job, heal my aunt, whatever. I pray those same prayers, and I see nothing wrong with them. In China, though, I heard different prayers, not “God, take away this burden,” but “God, give me the strength to bear this burden.”
