I know that the title is Prayer of an Unknown Solder, but you don’t have to have served in the military in any capacity to relate to this prayer. The gist is that God often answers our prayers by giving us what we need instead of what we want. He gives us what we would have asked for in the first place if we had known all that He knows about us and our circumstances. His gifts and answers to prayer often take into account the bigger picture that we simply do not see most of the time.
