I Asked For . . . .

by Agustina Rohmaini 

 

I asked for strength,

And Allah gave me difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom,

And Allah gave me problems to solve.

I asked for prosperity,

And Allah gave me brain and strength to work.

I asked for courage,

And Allah gave me danger to overcome.

I asked for love,

And Allah gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favour,

And Allah gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted.

I received everything I needed.

My Prayer has been answered.
