Mostly richly blessed

An article that I extracted from my devoutation book.

Most Richly Blessed
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve,
I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to 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 I asked for-
But everything I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself,
my unspoken prayer were answer.
I am, among all men, Mostly richly blessed.
