"I asked 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 that I had
  asked for,
but everything that I had
  hoped for."
