It's like little Mary who, having been naughty, was sent into her bedroom to "think things over." Coming out all smiles after a while, she said, "I thought and prayed."

Her mother said, "Fine! That will help you to be good."

Mary responded, "Oh, I didn't ask Him to help me to be good. I told Him to help you put up with me."
