GOD'S GRACE

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 LOVE.

 AND GOD GAVE ME TROUBLED PEOPLE TO HELP

I ASKED FOR FAVORS.

 AND GOD GAVE ME OPPORTUNITIES

I RECEIVED NOTHING I WANTED

AND YET EVERYTHING I NEEDED
