Purity

Eric stormed into my office and flopped into a chair. "I'm really mad at God."
Having grown up in a strong church family, he'd met and married a Christian girl. Now he was the picture of misery.
"Okay...so why are you mad at God?"
"Because," he said, "Last week I committed adultery."
Long pause. Finally I said, "I can see why God would be mad at you. But why are you mad at God?"
Eric explained that for several months he'd felt a strong, mutual attraction with a woman at his office. He'd prayed earnestly that God would keep him from immorality.
"Did you ask your wife to pray for you?" I said. "Did you stay away from the woman?"
"Well...no. We went out for lunch almost every day."
Slowly, I started pushing a big book across my desk. Eric watched, uncomprehending, as the book inched closer and closer
 to the edge. I prayed aloud, "O Lord, please keep this book from falling!"
I kept pushing and praying. God didn't suspend the law of gravity. The book went right over the edge, smacking the floor.
"I'm mad at God," I said to Eric. "I asked Him to keep my book from falling...but He let me down!"
