I ASKED GOD

[MIRIAM JACOB]

I ASKED GOD

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
brawn and brain 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 love
and God gave me
troubled people to help.

I asked for favors
and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted,
I received everything I needed,
My Prayer Has Been Answered.
