is measured in different ways for me today. Today was a success and not just "an" answer to prayer but rather "the" answer that I was hoping for. People pray for good things to happen, but our understanding of "good"can sometimes be limited to a certain piece of a puzzle that we look at with tunnel vision whereas God sees the big picture. This, I think, is why bad things happen in the first place, and sometimes why well-meaning prayers prayed according to God's will seem to get the "no" answer.
But today in limited wisdom I got the answer I had hoped. My children and I survived a tough trip somewhat gracefully.
