Troubled Guy: "Hello Heaven, I need to speak to God as soon as possible !"Saint Peter: "Hello, no problem you may speak to God right now !"
Troubled Guy: "Now? I didn't make an appointment ?!"
Saint Peter: "Of course now, you need not schedule an appointment with God, he's there for you all the time.... I'm forwarding your prayer now."
Troubled Guy: "Thanks Pete."
Saint Peter: "Pete ?"
Troubled Guy: "Oops! I mean 'Thanks Saint Peter'."
Saint Peter: "No problem."
Saint Peter is cut off, and the troubled young man is connected to God.
God: "Hello."
Troubled Guy: "Oh, hello Lord, thanks for everything you've done for me."
God: "No problem."
Troubled Guy: "God... I having problems, my day has gone all wrong.... I was driving to work and bumped someone's car--"
God: "Yes, I know, I got that prayer, too."
Troubled Guy: "--that made me late for work and I got fired."
God: "Yes, I know that, too."
Troubled Guy: "If you knew about that, too why didn't you tell me ?"
God: "I knew that your troubles wouldn't last for long, all troubles have a cure."
Troubled Guy: "They do ?"
God: "Yes, a balanced combination of faith and prayer."
Troubled Guy: "Oh, of course, but what do I do ?"
God: "Keep faith in me, and pray often."
Troubled Guy: "Is that all ?"
God: "Well, thats the basics, you'll find the rest in my book !"
Troubled Guy: "You wrote a book ?"
God: "Of course-- The Bible."
Troubled Guy: "Oh yeah.... so if I keep praying and have faith in you, everything will work out."
God: "Of course."
Troubled Guy: "Well, God, I've gotta go."
God: "So soon ?"
Troubled Guy: "Yes, I have a book to read."
God: "You do? I was enjoying this conversation."
Troubled Guy: "So was I, but I gotta read that book-- The Bible..... we'll have more to talk about next time."
God: "Bye."
Troubled Guy: "Goodbye, oops wait, this is a prayer isn't it ?"
God: "Yes."
Troubled Guy: "Well, then I shouldn't say goodbye."
God: "You Shouldn't ?"
Troubled Guy: "No."
God: "Well then what ?"
Troubled Guy: "I should say 'In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen !'"
That night he read Genesis in the Bible, and found what God did for people in Earth's early years.... happily he said a prayer the next morning...
Troubled Guy: "Dear Lord..."
God: "Yes ?"
Troubled Guy: "Thanks God."
God: "No Problem, just take your life with a dose of faith every day and keep me updated... tell me if the faith helps, you will feel better as you gradually up your dosage."
That day his boss called and told him he was re-hired, and he again was late for work... not because of an accident, but as he urgently told his boss, he had to pick up a bible for his desk...
His boss told him that was fine as he (the boss) had found the Lord last night!
