I asked… God gave

I asked… God gave

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 brain and brawn to work

I asked for courage…

And God gave me danger 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

I received everything I needed

My prayer has been answered
