Blessed

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 hoped for.

  Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

  I am, among all men, most richly blessed...
