I Prayed For:

Last night I was stunned for a second time in as many weeks to learn that a friend of mine died. He had not been sick to my knowledge and was only 37. In searching for answers I stumbled on this prayer that he had posted to his blog, ironically the day before he died. Enjoy your journey Bryan.

I asked God for health, that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity, that I might do better things.

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

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 men, most richly blessed.
