[quote=Anonymous]I know they say that God answers prayers, it's just that sometimes the answer is no -- and sometimes that no is because there's a better path or to spare you from pain etc.

Did you ever have an instance when you figured out why the answer was no? I don't mean life/death/health things bc those are tough. But like you prayed to get a certain job or promotion or to meet someone and getting married or whatever and it didn't happen. Anyone have a story of something that didn't happen and then later they figured out the reason why?

I'm just thinking of a dumb example. I've had a REALLY rough time lately (unemployment) and was in town for an interview last week, where I wanted to connect with a friend and former colleague I REALLY look up to, who always makes me feel better, etc. We were supposed to be able to connect and then at the last minute, I got an email from her that work went nuts and she had to go to a meeting and wasn't sure if it would end in time. I actually found myself saying a silent prayer asking God to let us get together that day -- that's how much I needed and wanted to talk to her. It still didn't happen. Why would the answer to something like that be no? It seems like such a small request in the grand scheme.[/quote]
