Unanswered Prayers?

Ruth Bell Graham (wife of Billy Graham) once said, "God has not always answered my prayers. If he had, I would have married the wrong man several times."
Philip Yancey has something to say about the Unanswered prayers of Jesus himself!http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/1998/february9/8t2152.html
Pastor Jerry Sittser (of Chicago) said "Unanswered prayer is God's gift... it protects us from ourselves. If all our prayers were answered we'd abuse the power.. use prayer to change the world to our liking, and it would become hell on earth. Like spoiled children with too many toys and too much money, we'd grab for more. We'd pray for victory at the expense of others..intoxicated by power..we'd hurt people and exalt ourselves..... Past unanswered prayers which lfet us hurt and disillusioned, act like a refiner's fire to prepare us for future answers."http://www.thevine.co.nz/word/archive/2009/07/31
