There is a song by country music artist Garth Brooks titled “Unanswered Prayers.” It’s about a man running into an old high school flame and remembering how, all those years ago, he had prayed each night for God to make her his. As they get reacquainted, he finds they really don’t have much in common anymore. And as the old flame walks away, the man looks at his wife and thanks God for that “unanswered prayer.”
