Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 The poem is by an anonymous author, and is titled "I asked ..." I asked God for strength, that I might achieve. I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly obey ... I asked for health, that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity, that I might 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 for God.... I asked for all things, that I might enjoy life. I was given life, that I might enjoy all things... I got nothing I asked for- but everything that I had hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all, most richly blessed !
