you have prayed to know the truth and you find out things you dont want to know Do answers to prayers somtimes hurt? Only in the moment. For example, your leg has been aching, and you learn that you have bone cancer. It is localized. Your leg needs to be amputated. It will hurt. This truth you have just learned just is only going to cause you more pain! But in the long run it can allow you to become well and whole. Whatever we ultimately decide to do in any situation, how can we deal with what the truth is if we don't know it? The answer to every prayer isn't always something we wanted to hear or wanted to do. I doubt that Abraham's was initially, regarding Isaac. And the Savior's answer in Gethsemane certainly was a painful one. Fortunately, we have the amazingly wonderful blessing of worshiping a God who loves us more than anything, and who always wants what is best for us. When we go to Him, He helps make that happen for us. We can trust Him that He knows what He's doing, even if we don't always know what WE'RE doing! I believe that when we are really trying, He won't let us stray too far off the path. On the other hand, the kind of prayer that actually allows us to connect with heaven is the sweetest, most healing, beautiful, wonderful, incredible thing ever. Sweet above all else that is sweet.
