Here is "A Solder's Prayer" written during the civil war by an unknown Confederate soldier dying and written in blood on the floor of a cabin in
This was given to me in 1982 by my friend, Max Cleland and is the back cover of his book, "Strong at the Broken Places".
A Soldier's Prayer
I asked God for strength, that I might achieve;
I was made weak, that I might humbly 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 of 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 I had hoped for.
Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered.
I am among all men, most richly blessed.

an unknown soldier
Enjoy this and all days and don't take the freedoms that God allows us lightly.
