Sometimes, no matter how hard we pray, things don't turn out as we had hoped.  Some are praying for their marriages to be restored; others are asking God to heal a rift between coworkers.  I encourage people to persevere, to continue praying and believing for good things to happen.  But we must also understand that God will not change another person's will.  He has given every human being free will to choose whether to do right or wrong.

     You may be heartbroken over a failed relationship, missing a loved one or a bankrupt business, but don't carry around all that hurt and pain year after year.  Don't let rejection fester inside you.  God has something new in store for you.
