I asked Him

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to face,
I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve,
I asked for prosperity and God gave me brawn and brain to work with,
I asked for trust and God gave me conscienceless backstabbers to deal with,

I asked for courage and God gave me danger to overcome,
I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help,
I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities to explore,
I asked for faith in myself and God gave me the lowest phases of my life to overcome,

I asked for humility and God gave me showers of praise to accept with a level head,
I asked for best friends and God gave me just myself to talk to,
I asked for security and God gave me the biggest insecurities to harden to,
I asked for compassion and God gave me inhuman jerks to forgive,

I asked for knowledge and God gave me profound souls to learn from,
I asked for liberation and God gave me a wonderful life to live n make a difference!

I received nothing I wanted, but got everything I needed,
My prayers have been answered.
