I ASKED...

I asked for strength....
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong

I asked for wisdom...
And God gave me problems to solve

I asked for prosperity...
And God gave me brain and brawn to work

I asked for courage...
And God gave me danger to overcome

I asked for love...
And God gave me troubled people to help

I asked for favors...
And God gave me opportunities

I received nothing I wanted...
I received everything I needed!
