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... 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 hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am among all men, most richly blessed... Prayer by an unknown Confederate soldier .
