When our prayers are unanswered, how can we stay faithful? By seeing how we can be grateful for unanswered prayers. If we look at our past with honesty, we will notice many occasions when we prayed to God, and those prayers were not answered. But if we look further ahead, we will also notice that while some doors remained closed, God’s ‘no’ actually led us to situations eventually where far better doors opened for us.
And then, as we feel grateful to God even for His unanswered prayers in the past, we can carry the faith from our past experiences into the present and maintain our faith when our present prayers seem unanswered.
(Inspired by Bhagavad-gita 18.58 )
