In other situations, when our worthy desires are not granted in the way we had hoped, it may actually be for our ultimate benefit.
I always tell my husband, be careful what you ask for! And it’s a reminder for me too…
For example, Joseph the son of Jacob was envied and hated by his brothers to the point that they plotted Joseph’s murder. Instead, they sold him as a slave into Egypt. If ever a person might have felt that his prayers were not answered in the way he had hoped, it could have been Joseph.
In reality, his apparent misfortune resulted in great blessings to him and saved his family from starvation.
(Joseph of Egypt)
