"When God wants to punish you, He answers your prayers." Karen Blixen in Out of Africa.
"Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers." Garth Brooks.
I don't always know what I need, but I usually know what I want. And many times my knowledge of myself is so limited that what I want may not be what I need.
I guess the more effective prayer is..."Your will be done".

That's a great blog, Jim. I'm always having to remind myself that what I want may not be what He wants for me.
I'm stealing this from you to post as a bulletin. I'll give the credit to you, though.
I still have a small desire to have my will be done though
