unanswered prayer?

Do you thank me for the prayers I answer? Do you ever thank me for the prayers I don’t answer? You pray for the things you want and expect answers. Yet have you ever looked back on  a prayer that I appeared not to answer, and realized from the perspective of more time and reflection that it would not have been good for you to have what you requested at the time? If your prayers are uninformed I may have to decide between giving you what you ask for and what is really best for you. Which of these would you prefer? Seek my will and pray according to it to make it easy for me to answer your prayers.
