How to deal with unanswered prayer

I ask.
I wait.
I don’t see God’s answer.

I examine my motives.
I remind myself
It’s not all about me.

I search the Scriptures
Looking for what God thinks
About what I’m asking.

If my request
seems pleasing to God
If I still long
for His answer

I keep asking.
I keep waiting.
I keep remembering
God answers prayer.
