Sometimes, we ask God for blessings. These can range from blessings as big as saving lives to as small as blessing a meal. But every time God acts in our lives, that's a miracle. We ask for miracles all the time. Sometimes, God grants us the miracles we ask for, but sometimes, He gives us even better ones instead.
God knows our lives and needs better than we do. He knows what's best for us. He knows what we really need and what we merely want. He knows that He sometimes needs to deny us the blessings and miracles that we ask for now in order to set us up to receive even better blessings and miracles later.
This is part of the reason we need to be patient and we need to have faith. If God always gave us what we asked for, we'd be much worse off for it. We need to be willing to accept the answers God gives us, even when the answer is "no." Because often, when God chooses not to grant a particular blessing or miracle, He does so so He can give grant us even even better blessings and miracles later.
