Water, water everywhere, yet we have been crying for free water...
When the word coronavirus entered the country earlier this year, almost everyone started agitating for free water from the National Water and Sewerage Corporation (NWSC). We kept crying for free water until the old saying came true as God answered our prayers. ILLUSTRATION | JOHN NYAGA
There are a thousand and one sayings that start with "be careful what you wish for" and end in different annoying ways.
It seems they are intended to discourage us from asking (especially God) for things that we can easily get for ourselves and shouldn’t bother the almighty seeking divine intervention for. It appears that when God applies the heavenly response to small requests, you may get more than you bargained for.
