"There are times when the one thing you want is the one thing you never get.  You pray and wait.  No answer.  You pray and wait.  May I ask you a very important question?  What if God says no?  What if the request is delayed or even denied?  When God says no to you, how will you respond?  If God says, "I've given you My grace, and that is enough," will you be content?  Content.  That's the word.  A state of heart in which you would be at peace if God gave you nothing more than He already has."

~Max Lucado from his devotion titled When God Says No
