Everything Everything I Needed

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 brains to work.

I asked for courage
and
God gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience
and
God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait.
 

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.

My prayers have all been answered.
