Reminds me of these words...
'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 of God.
I asked for all things that I may enjoy life;
He gave me life that I might enjoy all things.
I received nothing I asked for;
He gave me all that I had hoped for.'
