Jacob’s Prayer

Jacob’s Prayer

 

I asked for strength that I might achieve; He made me weak that I might obey. 

I asked for health that I might do great things: He gave me grace that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy; He gave me poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power that I might have the praise of men; He gave me weakness that I might feel a need of God.

I asked for all things that I might enjoy life; He gave me life that I might enjoy all things.

I received nothing I had asked for; He gave me all that I had hoped for.
