This and That
We Asked
Loving Creator,
We asked for strength, and you
gave us difficulties to make us
strong.
We asked for wisdom, and you gave us problems to
solve.
We asked for prosperity, and you gave us purpose
and brains to use.
We asked for courage, and you gave us fears to
overcome.
We asked for patience, and you gave us situations
where we were forced to wait.
We asked for love, and you gave us troubled people
to help.
We asked for justice, and you called us to be just and
lead with integrity.
Lord, we have received nothing that we asked for or
wanted.
And yet, we receive everything that we needed.
For this we give thanks.
