Is it permissible to say: "If you are afflicted, do not say, 'O Lord, I have a great affliction,' but rather say, 'O affliction, I have a great Lord'"?

The saying is not an authentic tradition, and there is no religious impediment to it if its proponent thinks good of Allah and is certain that Allah is Great and All-Capable, who removes evil and harm, relying on the hadith: "I am as My servant thinks of Me. If he thinks good of Me, then it is for him; and if he thinks evil of Me, then it is for him."
