17Oct21 (21bO29). Prayer is tricky. Do we always get whatever we want? God answers our prayers, but sometimes his answer is “No” or “I am going to do better”. God knows much more than us. We need to trust that he hears and answers our prayers, but not in our way, but in the full goodness of God’s plan. Even good things we ask for can less good than God’s desire. He can answer by not answering. It isn’t a matter of praying just right but with the right receptive spirit. “Thy will be done”.
