A little girl, dressed in her "Sunday best", was running to her Sunday school class and was a little late. As she ran, she prayed, "Dear God, please don't let me be late. Dear God, please don't let me be late." Just then, she slipped and fell on the pavement.

She got up, dusted herself off and saw that her dress was now dirty and had a little tear. She started running again, still praying, "Dear God, please don't let me be late." But this time she added, "And please don't push me, either!"
