Not thinking critically, I assumed that the "successful" prayers were proof that God answers prayer while the failures were proof that there was something wrong with me. -Dan Barker, former preacher, musician (b. 1949)
Thinking critically, one should realize that thinking about prayers as "successful" or "unsuccessful" is completely wrong-headed from the start. God is good, first of all, and stands outside of history and sees all of our lives from beginning to end. His response to our entreaties is for our own eternal good, which is always beyond our feeble apprehension.
