Answered Prayer

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 dangers to overcome.

I asked for love ~

and God gave me opportunities.

I received nothing I wanted ~

I received everything I needed.

My prayer has been answered.

~ Excerpt from Extreme Devotion by Voice of the Martyrs ~

FROM THE FAMILY OF MICHAEL JOB, AN INDIAN MEDICAL STUDENT KILLED IN JUNE OF 1999 BECAUSE OF HIS FATHER'S EVANGELISTIC ACTIVITIES.

Thanking God for answered prayer today,
