We all go through those times in our lives where we pray for something that at the time seems to be the one thing we truly want or need. It isn't until time has passed that we then get the chance to see that there really is a greater plan for us. Garth Brooks even wrote a song about it!
What was one prayer you are are thankful never got answered?

Got a bunch of answers there for you. lol. But I guess one thing that pops my mind first when thinking about unanswered prayers that I must be thankful for is when the company I was working in suddenly shut down and I needed to immediately find another job or say, company. So, I was like praying really hard to God to let me in that big company where my friends and ex-officemates had been transferred to. They got a lot of good feedback for that company that attracts me to really want to be in that company as well. But after days had passed since I applied for a position there, I still got no callback from them, and so I decided to just try applying for other companies, and I did. Blessed enough, just the day after my application, I was advised to start on my training. Time passed and I already had a secure position there (where I am still employed right now), I just heard that that big company, where my friends were working, cannot continue their operation anymore and also have to shut it down. Then, I suddenly realized that that was the reason why God could not let me in that company, because if so, like my friends, I would have lost my job as well. Praise God.

i love this song!
Lets see the ones I am most thankful for are the prayers that I would be able to date a couple of people I had crushes on when I was younger. I am thankful that they went unanswered as I found a man who chased me instead of the other way around and we've been married 10 yrs and counting ;0)
