The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
I found a great reading in C2C on page 37 Feb 6, that talks about sometimes the answer to our prayers is waiting.
I hope that helps :)

I'm sure many have heard this one, but one of my faves is God's answers to our prayers are either:
Yes
Not yet
I have something better in mind
May have gotten that wrong but that's the basic concept.
I think it speaks to the confusion I sometimes feel with praying--specifically, don't pray for things to happen. Let your HP handle all of that.
At our church, our pastor does a children's sermon, where all of the little ones come up to the alter and he sits with them and talks to them. Sometimes I get the greatest wisdom from listening to this. One of my favorites was when he said this to the children, when talking about prayer--"There are really only 2 things to say when you pray to God: 1. Help and 2. Thank you".
