For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
(Isaiah 55:9)When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
(John 11:4) We have a God who is not wrong
God's ways of responding to our prayers can often be complex and different from what we expect. However, there is always a purpose behind it, and we should trust in God's love and power. Sometimes what we consider a loss turns out to be a platform for an incredible blessing, and what we thought was the perfect job or person may not have been the best for us. We need to believe that God is sovereign and knows what is best for us, and His will is much better than ours. Martha, Mary, and Lazarus were vessels of glory for Jesus, and their story became one of the greatest miracles that the Lord did, displaying His glory and power even over death. We need to cultivate a clear conscience that God knows what He is doing and that everything that happens in our lives is for our good.
