I prayed for my burden to be removed,
and instead you made it light.
I prayed for an escape from tribulation,
and instead you gave me strength to endure.
I prayed for an end to the storms around me,
and instead you sent me inner peace.
I prayed for an end to my suffering,
and instead you sent me a friend.
If you'd given me exactly what I'd asked for
I would have missed out
on the greater blessings
you had in store.
Thank you for answering my prayers
in your own way and your own time.
Your wisdom is greater than my own,
and I surrender to your will.
That's pretty much exactly how I feel. God has surprised with the way my prayers have been answered recently, but I'm started to see the wisdom in it all. Thank you for sharing! =)
