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 great 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 when I was young 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 that I asked for
But everything i had hoped for
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered
I am, among all people, most richly blessed.


-Prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier
