"Gratitude in prayer transforms your heart from craving to surrender, allowing grace to blossom in the fertile soil of trust and patience."
According to Osho, when prayer shifts from asking to grateful surrender, you drop the craving for results and become patient—'Your will be done.' In that very renunciation, ripening begins and grace flowers by itself; the fruit starts to set. Impatience delays, but thankful, trustful waiting turns the inner spark into a blaze at the right time.
Saying thank you instead of asking helps you trust and wait, and then good things start growing on their own.
