Terdapat semacam ruang tamu yang dipenuhi rak-rak penyimpan arsip di panggung. Sepasang suami istri memasuki ruang tersebut, dan seorang laki-laki sedang menunggu mereka di sana. Ternyata ruang ini adalah pintu surga, dan rasul Petrus sendiri yang mengundang pasangan itu untuk masuk.
Sang suami lalu bertanya kepada Petrus, "Untuk apa rak-rak penyimpanan arsip itu?"
Petrus menjelaskan bahwa dalam laci-laci tersebut terdapat inventaris semua karunia, yang tidak jadi diklaim, padahal telah disiapkan Allah bagi anak-anak-Nya. "Di antara rak ini terdapat sebuah laci yang berlebel namamu," kata petrus kepadanya. "Dan semua hal yang ingin Allah berikan kepadamu, tetapi tak pernah kamu minta."
Peran doa anda lebih besar daripada yang anda kira. Pada saat anda berdoa, anda terhubung dengan pengusaha alam semesta. Masukilah pola doa dan temukanlah kenyataan terbesar yang jauh dari pemikiran kita.
