Unspoken prayers..

[Joanne27]

I found this and thought it was great, All of heaven pray for us!

We sometimes get frustrated with God when it seems like our prayers are not answered. When all we need to do is look it the right places!

I just renently realised that life has nothing to do with what I want.

Remember Gods will be done not my will be done!

 

I asked God for strength, that I might achieve; I was made weak, that I might learn humbly to obey.

I asked for health, that I might do greater things; I was given infirmity, 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.

I got nothing that I asked for, but everything that I had hoped for. Almost, despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.

I am, among all men, truly blessed.

Amen

Absolutely beautiful! So true. God does answer all of our prayers, just not in the way we'd always like.
