It's kind of like the old Rolling Stones song, "You can't always get what you want... Sometimes you'll get what you need". And in some cases the answer to your prayer will be that your time is up, and it's time to rest from your efforts in our current existance.

No one said that the answer will always be yes. The point is, sometimes the answer is yes for people with cancer, but that it is NEVER yes for amputees.

God answers prayers in HIS time, not yours.
The power of prayer both singly and in a group is VERY powerful.
Personally I've come through some extremly tough times, and certain instances in my life the Lord (and his angels) have had my back, period.
I know this to be true, can I proove it to you or a non <><, no , of course I can't.
cos what ever explanation/scenario I give can probably be explained away, (as Z-man said to 99%), but the 1% is the faith, and thats the kicker.

See, some of the time the answer is yes. Adrian, like most Christians, believe this. Like I said, no one says the answer will always be yes, no does anyone say that the answers will come in our time or in our way. But again, the answer to amputees is always no. Why is this? What does god have against amputees?
10 million people might pray to win the lottery. Only one lucky guy actually wins. He will say “god helped me win” or “god has plans for me and wants me to have this money” or “god works in mysterious ways” while the other 9,999,999 people just think that god said no or that god doesn’t help you with stuff like winning the lottery.
