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 a brain and brawn to work.

I asked for courage
And God gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for love
And God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favour
And God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted
But I received everything I needed.
