684. Four times I prayed

```

I prayed to God four times.

First time I prayed

For my liberation.

He most compassionately granted my prayer.

Second time I prayed

For God’s Revelation.

He most cheerfully granted my prayer.

Third time I prayed

For God’s Manifestation.

He most proudly granted my prayer.

Fourth time I prayed

For man’s consideration.

He most vehemently denied my prayer.
