The Unspoken Prayer
I asked God for strength,  that I might achieve.
I was made weak to humbly obey.

I asked for health, that I might do great things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I ask 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 for 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 almost despite myself, my  unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among all men most richly blessed.
