A CONFEDERATE TROOPER'S PRAYER
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 that I asked for - but everything
I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers
were answered.
I am, among all men, most richly blessed.
