When we pray for something and we don't get a positive answer from God, does that mean that we lack faith? Should we accept the "yes's" and reject the "No's"? Not necessarily; in Matthew 26:40, Jesus desperately pleaded with God that he would take away his horrible death sentence; but in the same prayer He said "May your will be done". This is a perfect example of how we should pray. Although we know that, God, in his sovereign and almighty power can do far more than what we ask for, we should pray knowing that the end results depend totally on HIM! By the way, where would you and I be today if Jesus rejected God's will for him to die on Calvary for our sins???????
