Winning isn't everything

One day, there is a man who is following a band competition. The atmosphere was festive afternoon, because this is the final round. Only the remaining 3 band now and they show off every tools owned,gibson guitar,any pearl drum,korg tone,Ephiphone gothic,and the other. Everything is custom, because that's the way the rules.
There was a boy named Saint Jimmy ,guitar vocal from The Heartbreak Syndrome . The guitar is not special, but he was included in the 3 band who entered the final. Compared to all of his opponent, Jimmy's guitar was the most imperfect. Some people doubted the guitar because it isn't costumed well
Well, indeed, the guitar was not so interesting. It's Yamaha APX - 500 with black color and a big AFENDS sticker on the behind,and the word make by tipe-x in the front that read (HER NAME HERE) certainly not comparable with the ornate luxury guitar owned by other bands. However, Jimmy was proud of it all, because the Guitar was custom in his own hands.
There comes the long-awaited moment.The Heartbreak Syndrome start performing championship final. Every man starts getting in the position, to start their instrumen and check that's loud. In the stage, has shown a Melodic Guitar,Vocal and Lead Guitar , Drum , and ,Bass. the stage is a circle with 3 separate paths around it.
However, a moment later, Jimmy asked for a moment before the show begins. He seemed to mumble as if in prayer. Her eyes were shut, with hands folded for pray with all of their friends in the back stage
Then, a minute later, they said, "Yes, we are ready!". this is The Heartbreak Syndrome! Signs have begun. With a strong beat, they began hit the string of the guitar .start singing their song.then the crowd became so hot after they sing out their favorite song Everyone cheered, excited, each sponsor his band.
"Remember when I said I love you well forget I take it back! (I can't let you go if you keep holding my hand)",  

so the crowd shouted louder.The winner must be determined, after few minutes they finish the song. 
And The Heartbreak Syndrome was chosen tho be the winner. Yes, everyone is happy, so is Jimmy. He says, and again muttered to myself. "Thank you."
When the division arrived trophy. Jimmy stepped forward with pride. Before the trophy was presented, the committee chairman asked.
"Hey champ, you must have been praying to God that you won, right?" Jimmy was silent.
"No, sir, that's not what I prayed" Jimmy said.He then continued, "It seems unfair to ask God to help me beat the others, I only beg the Lord, that I did not cry, if I lose."
All the audience fell silent to hear it. After a while, there was thunderous applause that filled the room.


in the way to the backstage my friend whisper something to me
"Holy shit,nice word dude!"
"yeah that's what we pray for right"

People, it seems we have more wisdom than all.Jimmy, does not beg the Lord to win in every exam.Jimmy, do not beg the Lord to pass and set up any results to be achieved.
The boy also did not ask God to grant all his hopes.He did not pray to win, and hurt others.However, Jimmy, beg the Lord, that given the strength in the face of it all.
He prayed, to be given the glory, and want recognition of the shortcomings with pride.
Perhaps, had more time we are doing to pray to Godto grant our every request.Too often we ask God to make us number one,be the best, a winner in every exam.
Too often we pray to God,to dispel any obstacles and temptations that exist in plain sight.In fact, not what we need is His guidance,His guidance, and guide him? We, are often too weak to believe that we are strong
