A Prayer That Was Not Answered

What is usually behind it

• Time: most of what people pray about is not resolved on a schedule they can see
• Having been told the answer depends on how strongly you believed
• Watching it happen for someone else, which is harder than it going unanswered for everyone
• No language for the state — almost nothing written for this audience treats unanswered prayer as normal

These are common states, not a diagnosis. If something here is affecting your health, your sleep or your safety, please speak to a doctor or a qualified professional where you live.
