When prayer is unanswered

"When requests are made to God and are not immediately answered, the
reason may be one of the followingeither that the petition is premature,
or because it has been made unworthily or vaingloriously, or because, if
granted, it would lead to conceit, or because negligence and
carelessness would result."

 St. John Climacus.


"Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God (I will praise His
word), In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can flesh do to
me?"  Psalm 56:3-4

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
