Golfer, I don’t know why these days every mention of Tefillah comes with a disclaimer that “no is also an answer.” Obviously, if you ask to become very rich and it is hard-coded against your Mazal it won’t change easily. People all too often refer back to the big requests that they Davened for and reflect how it wasn’t answered.
But I’m sure I’m not the only one who has had my Tefilos answered. It is important to remember when Hashem answered your Tefilos. You have these in mind when you say Baruch Shomea Tefilla.
