Good morning

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 brawn and brains to work.

 I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome.

 I asked for patience and God placed me in situations where I was forced to wait. 

 I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help.

 I asked for favors and God gave me opportunities.

 I asked for everything so I could enjoy life.

 Instead,

 He gave me life so I could enjoy everything.

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