Thought for the day

Richly Blessed
Sometimes I wonder when things go wrong,Has God forsaken and left me alone?Then I remember through trials and distress,He’s always with me,I’m most richly blessed.
I asked God for strength,that I might achieve;I was made weak, that I might learn to humbly 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,And almost despite myself,My unspoken prayers were answered.
He’s always with meI am, among all men, most richly, blessed.
