Our trust in the Lord is not dependent upon our expected specific answers to our prayers. Our prayers are to be lifted unto the Lord. Our answers are to be left in the hands and wisdom of the Lord.
We should not validate prayer by our receiving the specific answer we demanded. The Bible teaches that we are to trust the Lord.
Matthew 26:39
Going a little farther, Jesus fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will."
