  I asked God for strength, that I might achieve, I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health, that I might do greater things, I was given infirmity, that I may do better things.
I asked 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 of GOD I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life, I was given life, that I may enjoy all things. I got nothing I asked for- But everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed..
