In moments of doubt, finding strength becomes paramount. I asked God to make me strong, and in those times, I realized the importance of finding strength within myself.
so that I could achieve everything I wanted…
But God made me weak,
so that I could learn humility. Through this journey, finding strength in unexpected ways was essential.
I asked God for good health,
so that I could do greater things…
But God gave me frailty,
so that I could do more meaningful things. And during these times, finding strength was a constant endeavor.
I prayed to become rich,
so that I could be happy…
But I was given poverty as a gift,
so that I might become a wiser person.
I asked for talent,
so that I could receive people’s praise…
But I was given a sense of inferiority,
so that I would feel my need for God.
I asked God for everything,
so that I could fully enjoy life…
But God gave me life itself,
so that I might enjoy all things. In the end, finding strength through these gifts became my true blessing.
I did not receive a single thing I asked for…
yet I was given everything I truly needed.
Though I am a small and insignificant being,
God heard every unspoken prayer of my heart. Finding strength in this realization fills me with gratitude.
Of all people,
I am the one most blessed.
