ask, and you shall receive

I asked for patience,
And the things I want were taken away from me

I asked for strength,
And I was faced with adversaries

I asked for love,
And everything else that wasn't, showed up

I asked for meaning,
And you reminded me of my purpose

I asked for guidance,
And you showed me darkness so I can see the light

I asked for wisdom,
And my life unraveled into a series of trials and tribulations to turn knowledge into experience

I asked for faith,
And I learned that true belief triumphs over outcomes

Each time I asked, I received
Now, I ask that you take me away from myself
Until there is only You.
