I Asked God And Look What He Gave Me!


I asked for provision…

And God found me a great job

I asked for the perfect wife

And God gave me an imperfect woman so I could love like Him

I asked for knowledge…

And God gave me the funds to invest in books and study materials

I asked for self-confidence…

And God allowed me to experience my need for God-confidence

I asked for patience…

And God orchestrated events to ensure that all I could do was wait patiently for Him

I asked for humility…

And God asked me to submit myself to flawed people.

I asked for love…

And God surrounded me with broken people I could serve

I asked for boldness…

And God put me in circumstances where I had to overcome fear.

I asked for peace…

And God gave me storms that I had to learn to sleep through

I asked for favour…

And God opened many doors and asked me to walk into them

I asked for increased revelation…

And God gave me an insatiable appetite for His Word

I asked God to speak more clearly to me…

And God beckoned me to be still and listen more intently for His voice

I asked God to answer my prayers…

And He chose to give me nothing I asked for

I asked God and look what He gave me…

He met all my needs and ignored my wants.
