One Nation Under God

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~

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.
