I asked God for strenght that I might achieve .
I was made weak that I might learn to humbly obey .

I asked for help that I might do greater things .
I was given infirimity 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 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'd hoped for .
My unspoken prayers were answered .
I am most richly blessed by God .
