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 man

I was given weakness that i might  feel the need of GOD;

I asked for all things,i might enjoy life,

I was given life,that i might enjoy life

I got nothing that i asked for - but everything

i had hoped for,

Almost despite myself,my unspoken prayers were

answered,

I am among all men,most richly blessed.
