Unanswered prayers are no reason for abandoning our faith in God. This
is the lesson Ella Wheeler Wilcox teaches in this verse:
I will not doubt, tho all my prayers return
Unanswered from the still, white realm above;
I shall believe it is an all-wise love
Which has refused those things for which I yearn;
And tho at times I can not keep from grieving,
Yet the pure ardor of my fixt believing
Undimmed shall burn.
(1045)
