Well, I believe in prayer and have stood in that belief all my life..Recently I prayed and prayed for my husband to pull through a bout of cancer, I prayed so hard so very hard every day.. every time I closed my eyes I prayed that God would heal him and make him well take away his pain so we could continue our love together.. He was taken home in July .. and I have felt betrayed and hurt and my faith shaken.. But something I am realizing now is that God did indeed answer my prayers.. not the way I thought they should be, he took the pain from his body and then took him from me.. but The answer was not what I wanted to hear, because it wasn't about what was best for me... It was about what was best for him.... I could not heal him Medical doctors could not heal him..his body was ready to go.. it's just that my heart was not ready to let go . It would never be ready to let go.. and sometimes parents do what they have to do even though it may seem hurtful and pointless.. But I know now that his soul is at peace and I know in time I will understand all the questions I have..and all the "why Gods," will be answered. My heart is full of my love for my husband and I know his was for me...and He will remain alive and in my heart for all of time and eternity... So never believe that God doesn't answer prayer, Just remember that sometimes your heart just is not ready to hear his answers...The answer is not always what we want to hear, but what is best.
