I asked for strength that I might achieve;
   I was given weakness that I might obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things;
   I was given grace that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy;
   I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men;
   I was given weakness that I might feel the need of Him;

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life;
   I was given life that I might enjoy all things things.
I received nothing that I asked for, all that I hoped for.
   MY PRAYER WAS ANSWERED!
