It is a constant puzzle to me why God doesn't answer some prayers which seem SO worth answering with the answer I am asking for!
For example, an 80year old friend of mine, April, has been having health problems for a couple of years now. Last week, her daughter and I prayed for her leg which has really poor circulation ever since an operation the previous year and is causing her constant pain. However, today she has gone in for an exploratory exam with a possibility of amputation of her foot if things cannot be resolved. I was SO sure God was going to heal her - for her comfort and also to give her a boost in what faith she has. But no - and I am puzzled.
Father - I KNOW You can heal miraculously and I do bow to Your knowing best but I do find myself wondering why. Help me to keep praying and growing in my faith. Give me the wisdom and compassion to keep encouraging April and beinng a good friend and support to her.
