Most of us struggle with unanswered prayer. A while back I read Mark Batterson's book, "The Circle Maker: Praying Circles Around Your Biggest Dreams and Greatest Fears" (an excellent book). In it Mark writes the following that I want to share with you...
"The hardest thing about praying hard is enduring unanswered prayers. If you don't guard your heart, unresolved anger toward God can undermine faith. Sometimes your only option is trust because it is the last card in your hand, but it's the wild card. If you can trust God when the answer is no, you're likely to give HIM praise when the answer is yes.. You need to press in and press on. By definition, praying hard is prayign when it's hard to pray. And it's the hard times that teach us to pray hard. But if you keep praying through, the peace that transends understanding will guard your heart and your mind.
So sometimes the answer to our prayer si no and you'll never understand why. But here's the good news: What we perceive as unanswered prayers are often the greatest answers."
