"Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know."

There is so much we do not know, compared to God's knowledge. He can see the past, present and future all at the same time. When He allows certain unpleasant circumstances, a denial of a request made for a job, financial help, even health matters, we tend to think that it is because He is either displeased with us or doesn't care.
The truth is, nothing could be further than the truth. He is saying, " I have something better for you, and everyone else it will effect", or " I don't want you to hurt yourself", or "I am preparing you for something that requires you to go through this pain for a season". OR, "This is for My glory". Sometimes it will be a combination 2 or more of these basic reasons for a negative response to a prayer.
But even though we do not understand, we know that God never waists our pain and He even feels the pain along with us. It's good to remember that He is walking through our trials, disappointments, and failures with us.
We just need to resolve to "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not on your own understanding. And He will make your paths straight" Proverbs 3:3-5. You will need to lean on this verse many times to come through difficult times and resist the temptation to be angry with God.
After all, we are His, bought with a price. The blood of His precious Son, Jesus Christ. So we know He is not taking our troubles lightly.
We can go about it our way and get God's second best for us or we can trust Him and obey and leave all the consequences to Him.
