I asked God for strengh,that I might achieve,

I was made weak,that I might learn humblyto 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 of God.

I asked for all things,that I might enjoy life,

I was given life ,that I might enjoy all things.
