EVERYTHING I NEEDED

I asked for strength,
And God gave me difficulties to make me strong
I asked for wisdom,
And God gave 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 favors,
And God gave opportunities
I asked for love,
And God gave me troubled people to help


I received nothing I wanted.

I received everything I needed.

My prayers have all been answered.
