God's Grace

 

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 brawn and brain to work.

I asked for courage

And God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for love

And God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favours

and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted

And yet everything I needed.
