"
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak 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 of 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 men most richly blessed.

And sometimes, I get a few things that I asked also. Thank you God.

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
(Isaiah 55.8-9 NLT)
