​Why was my prayer not answered?

When answers fail to come, don't be discouraged. Keep leaning on God's steadfast love and trusting in his will. God works on his own time table in answering our prayers. Some prayers are answered immediately, some in the distant future, some are delayed for our own good, and some may never be answered because they are contrary to his will. Knowing why won't make a difference but growing closer to God will. Let us pray in faith and leave it to God.

Luke 11:10
Everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
