“…sometimes our prayers are not always answered in the way we imagine them to be…”

“I started the Impossible Novena with 2 main intentions. I have been praying for my sister and her husband to concieve another child after years of infertility and loss. I have also been praying for my father, as he faces a lawsuit with his old employer. I noticed I would find myself "depending" on the Impossible Novena to cover my prayer requests for me. I truly had faith that because I was praying this novena, my prayers would be answered in the way I wanted them to be answered. At this point, these prayers have not been answered. I had this idea of Christmas having these prayers answered as we entered the next year. I think this experience has made me reflect on the fact that sometimes our prayers are not always answered in the way we imagine them to be. I will continue to pray for these intentions, but at this point, I feel defeated. But I know this is a reminder to CONTINUE to pray. I need to remember that God answers our prayers in mysterious ways. This novena has been a reminder to keep the faith.” (Anonymous Community Member)
