" I asked for strength

and given difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom and given problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity

and given brawn & brain to work.

I asked for courage

and given dangers to overcome.

I asked for patience and placed in situations where

I was forced to wait.

I asked for love and given

troubled people to help.

I asked for favours

and given opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted

I received everything that I needed

My prayers are answered."
