Thank God For Unanswered Prayers

Most of us carry a quiet list of prayers that never seemed to land. The job we begged for and never got. The relationship we pleaded to keep, only to watch it slip away. The door we knocked on again and again until our knuckles ached, yet it stayed firmly shut. In those moments, it can feel like God simply was not listening. But looking back now, can you see it? Some of the prayers He did not answer the way you wanted were among His greatest gifts to you.
