I asked God for strength,
and He gave me difficulties to make me strong.
I asked God for wisdom,
and He gave me problems to solve.
I asked God for prosperity,
and He gave me brawn and brain to work.
I asked God for courage,
and He gave me obstacles to overcome.
I asked God for patience,
and He placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.
I asked God for love,
and He gave me troubled people to help.
I asked God for favors,
and He gave me opportunities.
I received nothing I wanted, yet I received everything I needed.
My prayer has been answered.
