God will not give us everything we want and have prayed for;
the idea that God would grant our every whim and wish as his child is totally
absurd and is not in keeping with His character and sovereignty.
What we want cannot be separated from what other people
want, under the umbrella of the complete control of God, or there will be
anarchy and chaos. There is
interconnectivity between the lives of people, and only God can see the connection,
and His will takes into consideration all the elements relevant to the past,
the present, and the future, the totality of His plan.
In life, it is not what we want, but what God wills; the
same goes with prayer, or it is we who are sovereign, and not God.
