Just something to think about.

I agree that yes and no are both answers. Well said.
Excellent Scripture to keep in mind. Thank you...

Probably the best answer. Makes me think of how you can have soldiers (to keep things simple let's say they're Christians) on opposite sides of a war praying for victory, to get home safely, etc. (think American Civil War, WWI and WWII, and so forth). Obviously, both won't get all (or maybe even any) of what they're asking for, but what happens will fall in place with God's plans for the world, though it can take time for it to become obvious why something happened the way it did...and we don't always like what that is.
