Unanswered Prayer

I found this article very encouraging: http://www.challies.com/christian-living/unanswered-prayer, especially the paragraph:

"What Jesus would accomplish made little sense to [the disciples] when he described it in advance; what he was accomplishing made little sense while he endured it; what he had accomplished became clear only when they could look back on it. They just needed to wait. It all became clear in time." (emphasis mine)
