what you get is what you need

sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives

i asked for strengh
Allah gave me difficulties to make strong

i asked for wisdom
Allah gave me problems to solve

i asked prosperity
Allah gave me brain and brawn to work

i asked for courage
Allah gave me danger to overcome

i asked for love
Allah gave me troubled people to help

i asked for favors
Allah gave me opportunities

then i knew

Allah gave nothing i wanted
but ...
Allah gave everything i needed!
