I asked and I got

October 18, 2015

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and he gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity and he gave me brawn and brains to work.

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

I asked him for patience and he placed me in situations where I was forced to wait and accept.

I asked for love and he gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors and he gave me opportunities.

I asked for everything so I could enjoy life. 
Instead, He gave me life so I could enjoy everything.

I received nothing I wanted but I received everything I needed.
