The cry of the human soul is never unheard. It is never that God does not hear the cry, but that man fails to hear the response. -- God Calling, October 19
You wonder sometimes why you are permitted to make mistakes in your choice when you sought so truly to do My will in the matter. To that I say it was no mistake.... All your lessons cannot be learned without difficulty, and this was needed to teach you a lesson. Not to him who walks on, with no obstructions in his way, but to him that overcometh is the promise given.
***
So to attain peace quickly in your surroundings, as well as in your hearts, learn your lesson quickly. And the overcoming is never the overcoming of the one who troubled you, but the overcoming of the weaknesses and wrong in your own natures, aroused by such a one. -- God Calling, July 28
There it is. The two-fold answer to each problem, each quandary we may stumble-bumble across in life. Long/short: (1) It is not that God does not answer our prayers, it is that we do not choose to hear or accept God's answer; (2) God's answer is that we are the source of all our woes, or Leave your nets and follow Me.
Thank you.
