Arthur Ashe's Statement  
Often, people inquire whether I ever ask myself, "Why me?" I never do. If I ask, "Why me?" as I am assaulted by heart disease and AIDS, I must also ask, "Why me?" about my blessings. The morning after I won Wimbledon I should have asked, "Why me?" and doubted that I deserved the victory. I also do not waste time pleading with God to make me well. I believe that prayer is not to be invoked to ask God for things for oneself or even for others. Rather, prayer is a medium through which I ask God to show me God’s will, and to give me strength to carry out that will.
