Our Great God And Savior Knows What Is Best

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 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 asked for everything so I could enjoy life, 

instead He gave me life so I could enjoy everything;

I received nothing that I wanted, but I received everything that I needed.
