Note 50 at Mt. 7:8: Prayer which meets the requirements outlined in God's Word (see note 49 at Mt. 7:7, above) is always answered. Many times we don't perceive the answer because it always comes in the spiritual realm first before it is manifested in the physical realm. If we waver (Jas. 1:6-7) from our confident (Heb. 10:35) faith, then we abort the manifestation of that answer. But God did answer. Everyone that asks receives, etc. Compare with Daniel's answers to prayer in Daniel 9 and 10.
