I Got Everything That I Really Needed

I do not know who wrote this verse but Marina Filimianova shared it in the comment section of one of my articles. I thought it is so elegantly written that I should share with you all in this difficult time. I hope you would find it meaningful regardless of your faith, belief or culture.

I asked God to give me strength

and He gave me difficulties to overcome

I asked for wisdom,

and He gave me problems to learn to solve them

I asked for financial abundance,

and He gave me ability to work.

I asked for courage,

and He gave me dangers to overcome.

I asked for love,

and He gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors,

and He gave me opportunities to exploit.

From what I asked for, I got nothing

Nothing of what I wanted.

But I got everything,

Everything that I really needed.

My prayer was heard!
