When I was being praticularly bratty as a teenager, I would often respond to my parent’s corrective actions with the exclamation “Well, I didn’t ask to be born you know!” When going through particularly trying times as an adult, I would say the same thing in jest to God in prayer. I’d add to it the fact that Jesus never experienced marriage or raising children or pastoring a church and he got to leave at age 33! I have relied a lot on my deep belief that God has a great sense of humor. I will be very disappointed if I have been mistaken on this score.
With this background, I was very amused and heartened by this prayer I read in Paramahansa Yogananda’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita: “Heavenly Father, I did not wish to be created, nor did I wish to be placed in proximity to alluring evil temptations. Please, O God, since You created me and put me to the test of life, without consulting me, bless me that I use my power of free choice to strengthen my will and to follow the path of freedom and not the path of delusion.”
I love that prayer! I hope it encourages you as well.
I didn’t ask to be born….

I want to show my thanks to you for rescuing me from this difficulty. As a result of surfing through the online world and obtaining notions which were not productive, I figured my life was gone. Existing devoid of the solutions to the problems you’ve solved through your main guide is a crucial case, as well as those which may have negatively damaged my career if I hadn’t noticed your blog post. Your expertise and kindness in maneuvering the whole lot was very useful. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a solution like this. I am able to now look forward to my future. Thank you so much for this impressive and amazing guide. I won’t be reluctant to refer the sites to anybody who desires guidelines about this situation.
