A Prayer Is Heard
by Hazrat Inayat Khan

I prayed for strength
and God gave me obstacles
that made me strong

I prayed for wisdom
and God gave me problems
that had to be solved

I prayed for wealth
and God gave me brain and muscles
that I could use

I prayed for courage
and God gave me dangers
that had to be overcome

I prayed for love
and God gave me people
that needed my help

I prayed for favours
and God gave me opportunities
that should be used

I got nothing of what I desired
I received everything I needed
