Prayer written by a Civil War Soldier
I asked for strength that I might achieve.
He made me weak that I might obey.
I asked for health that I might do great things.
He gave me grace that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy.
He gave me poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
He gave me weakness that I might feel a need for God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
He gave me life that I might enjoy all things.
I received nothing that I asked for.
He gave me everything I hoped for.
