BEST IMA- wow!! Now THATS a real lesson in tefillah. It shows that tefillah never goes to waste but its up to hashem how to use them.
There’s that famous story of a godel that was very sick(does anyone remember his name? My mind is blank now).
The whole work was davening for his refuah but he passed away shortly thereafter.
Pple were questionning, but soon learned that a little boy WITH THAT GODELS EXACT NAME had a terrible car accident at that time but he recovered completely!!
Hashem takes our tefillos and uses them for whatever is best for us.
