Unanaswered Prayers

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

Recently i have been thinking about something that has happened in my life and i think it has also happened to some of you here. i thought i would share with you this popular country song that captures the feeling that we should remember when it seems that our prayers, wishes and hopes r not answered. Having faith in God to give us what we need when we need it is part of the meaning of faith. When it is time our time will arrive also. God sees time quite differently than us and just because someone seems to have something before us does not make them any more happy. The things they take in their choices may not even serve their highest interests. Let us b grateful for what we do not get as well as what we do get.  Some how God will take care of the rest. When our time comes we will know. Patience is one of the highest virtues on our spiritual path. Through patience we r transformed.

My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be

She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
I'd never ask for anything again

[Chorus]
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
In her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn't much we could recall
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
For the gifts in my life

[Chorus]

Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
