Title: I Asked Post by: Soldier4Christ on November 11, 2005, 01:10:05 PM The prayer entitled "I Asked" was written by a Confederate soldier.
It was recovered from his body in Devil's Den after the battle of Gettysburg, and is a provocative prayer that many of our Veterans can relate to: I Asked I asked for strength that I might achieve, God made me weak that I might obey. I asked for health that I might do great things, I was given grace that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy, I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men, I was given weakness that I might feel the need for God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life, I was given life that I might enjoy all things. received nothing that I asked for, My prayer was answered. ~A prayer by a Confederate Soldier~ Title: Re:I Asked Post by: TalkerCat on November 18, 2005, 04:04:56 PM That's a beautiful poem, beautiful because it rings to true in the hear of the believer. I believe that all prayers are answered, in His way, in His time and in His will.
