The prayer of the upright pleases Him.
Proverbs 15:8
We are promised that God hears and will answer our prayers. But does that mean we’ll always get what we ask Him for?
Not exactly. Prayer is a relationship; it’s not magic. God has invited us to commune with Him in prayer. When we ask Him for good gifts – something He encourages us to do – we should remember that we’re talking to someone who loves us, wants what’s best for us, and knows what we really need.

And pass this along to someone who could use the same inspiration today.
Prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them
