A wonderful poem on unanswered prayer by Pete Greig in his book God on Mute:

first
there is
prayer
and where there is prayer
there may be
miracles
but where miracles may not be
there are
questions
and where the are questions
there may be
silence
but silence may be
more than
absence
silence
may be presence
muted
silence
may not be anything but
something
to explore
defy accuse
engage
and
this is
prayer
and where there is prayer
there may yet be
miracles…
