I ASKED GOD FOR......

“I asked God for strength that I might achieve.

 I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey.

***************

I asked for health that I might do greater things.

I was given infirmity 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 God.

***************

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.

 I was given life that I might enjoy all things.

***************

I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for.

***************

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”
