What I Need

I thought I knew all the answers

The way My life should go

And when I say my prayers

I would tell God so..

At times, It seems like God did not listen

And I thought God did not care

But looking back at it now

It's plain to see that God has always been there...

I had prayed for strength

But I got pain instead to make me strong

I had prayed for courage

But I was given fear to overcome..

I had prayed for faith..

Until my empty heart brought me to my knees

I do not always get what I want

As God gives me only what I need

It's not as easy as it seems

And sometimes it hurts so much

Especially when nothing seems to go my way

Or when nothing seems to work

They tell me that to get better

I must go with the flow

Accepting that sometimes

The answer to a prayer is 'No'

 I had forgotten the lesson

That everytime I had a door slammed in my face

In time, a better one was opened in its place

Oh, I don't get what I want

But I get what I need....
