Why God didn't answer my prayer

The right way to ask God for something you need is to start with, “God if it is your will, please help…. (Whatever request you need)we should humble our self before God because he is our Master and our creator. Always leave to him the final determination of whether or not what we asking for is, in fact, the thing most ultimately beneficial. Let me share some stories that changed many peoples life because of the unanswered prayers;

Joni Tada. After her graduation she dove into the waters of Chesapeake Bay. Her head hit the bottom, leaving her instantly paralyzed from the neck down. Family and friends joined Tada in praying for her healing, but she remained paralyzed. Her despair was so great that she begged a friend to help her commit suicide. Although Tada remains a quadriplegic, she has built a powerful life of personal faith and is a great inspiration for others. Today, millions of people worldwide know her via her books, writing, and paintings, which she does by holding a pen or brush in her mouth. Her unanswered prayer for healing resulted in a deeper personal faith and in blessings for countless people.

There are blessings in unanswered prayer that many of us do take the initiative to know. When we see, believe and have faith in God, we can understand what God is trying to teach us. For example, when we ask for strength to achieve, God makes us weak so that we may learn humbly to obey. When we ask for health to climb the mountains, God gives us infirmity that we will do better things. When we ask God for riches, he gives poverty that we may be wise. We ask for power that we can have the praise of men and God gives us weakness that we may feel the need of God. Finally, we ask for all things to enjoy life and God gave life so that we can enjoy all things. In these God knows that we will be rich in blessings.
