I ASKED GOD
I ASKED GOD FOR STRENGTH, THAT I MIGHT ACHIEVE, I WAS MADE WEAK TO HUMBLY 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 PROVERTY, 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 GOD. I ASKED FOR ALL THINGS, THAT I MIGHT ENJOY L IFE, I WAS GIVEN LIFE, THAT I MIGHT ENJOY ALL THINGS. 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.
