Read In Detail the Story on Prayer 

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who lived in a village with his two daughters. The farmer was a good father and he loved his daughters very much. They were a happy family as the farmer would get his children everything that they wanted. As the farmer grew old, he got both his daughters married. The older daughter of the farmer was married to another young farmer in the village. The younger daughter of the farmer was married to a potter in the village. The daughters went to their husband's homes and the farmer started living alone.

A Visit To the Daughters 

One day, the farmer decided that he would visit the homes of his daughters and see how they are. So, he went on his way and reached the house of the older daughter. He was welcomed very warmly by his daughter who served him delicious food and took care of him. When the farmer asked how she is, the daughter replied, “Father, we are happy. But as you know the weather has been very dry and there is no rain. The crops would die and we would have nothing to eat. Please can you pray to God for more rains so that the crops can grow properly?” The farmer loved his daughter very much and hence agreed to pray for more frequent rains. 

Farmer Saying Goodbye to his Elder Daughter

Now he went to the home of the younger daughter. There too, he was welcomed very warmly, and his daughter took care of him. When he asked the daughter how she was, the daughter said, “Father, we have a pottery business. But due to rain, we aren’t able to make or dry the pots. Please can you pray to God for sunny weather so that we can dry the pots, sell them, and make money? Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to make ends meet.”

The Final Decision 

Now the farmer was in a dilemma. On one hand, his elder daughter wanted him to pray for more frequent rains and on the other hand, the younger daughter wanted dry and sunny weather. He couldn’t understand what to do and what to pray for. Finally, he had a realization. The old farmer realized that no matter what he prayed for, everything is God’s will. Sometimes it is better to leave the decisions up to God. So, he said, “God, do as you wish. Let your decision be final.” The man entrusted the fate of his daughters to the will of God.
