Answered Prayer

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak that I might learn humility to obey.
I asked for health; that I might do great things;
I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.
I asked God for riches; that I might be happy.
I was given poverty, that I might be wise.
I asked God for power; that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness, that I might feel the need for God.
I asked for all things; that I may enjoy life.
I was given Life, that I may enjoy all things.
I received nothing that I asked, but every thing I had hoped.
I gained an answer to all of my prayers, despite myself.
I am among all men, undeservedly most richly blessed.
I copied this from one of my old diaries. I don't know whose the writer but it is relevent and hope filled to me and I hope to you to.
Peace be with you on this Friday and every day.
