Unanswered Prayers

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve.

I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey . . .

I asked for health, that I might do great things.

I was given infirmity, that I might do better things . . .

I asked for riches, that I might be happy.

I was given poverty, that I might be wise . . .

I asked for power, that I might have the praise of men.

I was given weakness, that I might feel the need of God . . .

I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life.

I was given life, that I might enjoy all things . . .

I got nothing I asked for - but everything I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself,

my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among men, most richly blessed !
