...needed

I asked for Strength and God gave me Difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for Wisdom and God gave me Problems to solve. 

I asked for Prosperity and God gave me Brain and Brawn to work. 

I asked for Courage and God gave me Danger to overcome. 

I asked for Love and God gave me Troubled People to help. 

I asked for Favor and God gave me Opportunities. 

I got nothing I wanted, but I received everything I needed.
