Because sometimes I can be "Oh woe is me!"

Because sometimes I forget that I have it better than most.

Because sometimes I can be too memememememememe.

Because sometimes I get selfish.

Because sometimes I forget that things have a way of working themselves out.

Because sometimes it's never enough.

Because sometimes I want more.

Because sometimes I need perspective.

ASKING 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,

But 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 that I had hoped for.

Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am among all men, most richly blessed.
