A PRAYER TO GOD

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 men.

I was given weakness

that I might feel the need of God

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 had hoped for.

Almost despite myself,

my unspoken prayers were answered.

I AM, AMONG ALL MEN MOST RICHLy BLESSED!
