Recently I came across a poem talking about prayer to God, and the answers received. It is very interesting to read, because it speaks wisdom. I am sure the poem will speak to you.
I asked for STRENGTH. God gave me DIFFICULTIES to make me strong.
I asked for WISDOM. God gave me PROBLEMS to solve.
I asked for PROSPERITY. God gave me BRAWN and BRAIN to work.
I asked for COURAGE. God gave me DANGERS to overcome.
I asked for PATIENCE. God placed mein SITUATIONS where I was FORCED to wait.
I asked for LOVE. God gave me TROUBLED people to help.
I asked for FAVOURS. God gave me OPPORTUNITIES.
I received NOTHING I wanted. I received EVERYTHING I needed.
How true isn’t it? The LORD is good all the time. All the time, the LORD is good! HalleluYah!
