Some prayers are followed by silence (from God) because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than one can understand.

There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. Let everything else go, but maintain that at all cost, and God will fulfill His purpose through your life. (This includes meeting the needs of your heart.)
