I asked for patience, but I got troubles

I asked for wisdom, but I got stupider

I asked for help to control my tongue, but I was told to keep silent

I asked for humility, but I didn’t know how much of ego I had until it was battered severly.

I asked You to clean out my heart, but I never knew it would be this painful

I asked You for healing but You said wait… My grace is more than sufficient and will take you through one day at a time

All the ‘I’ s above… and only one ‘You’

Looks like there’s still a long way to go
