I asked 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 great 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 spirituality...

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life,

I was given life that I might enjoy all things...

I got nothing I asked for …..

But everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered

I am, among people, most richly blessed.
