       These types of questions fly through our minds because we wonder why we aren’t seeing the prayer being answered. Experientially, we know that God doesn’t always answer our prayers—at least, right away. So, we should not be surprised when this happens, when it seems like nothing is going on. Yes, if we want to maintain our happiness with ongoing prayer requests, those requests that haven’t been answered yet, we need to keep that in the forefront of our thinking. We need to remember that sometimes our prayers don’t seem like they are making any difference at all. The truth, however, is that they are making a difference. We just cannot see the difference with our own eyes. We know this because Jesus told us to keep praying about things and never give up. Why would he tell us that if our prayer wasn’t making any difference? Now, it doesn’t mean we’ll always get what we want, or that we ‘ourselves’ will see the answer to the prayer with our own eyes in this life. If we are totally surrendered, however, that really shouldn’t be a problem for us.
