God does answer prayer. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is to wait, and once in a while the answer is No! When we were young and newly called into the ministry, Tom wanted to pastor a certain church. Through circumstances, someone else became the pastor. Tom was disappointed and did not understand why he didn’t get the church. Later we found out that this church is what the clergy calls a pastor killer. One minister of that church had a nervous breakdown. Another one had a heart attack, while a third quit the ministry. Many years later we went to preach at that church, and the church had not changed.
