God answers payers in different ways

so i was recently reject from the University of Virginia my dream school. At the time i was really upset, my boyfriend has been going there for two years and my best friend kelsey had just gotten the call from her mom that she got accepted and we were really excited. I had prayed for weeks that i would get in, i read my Bible and everything and i just knew that me and kelsey would be hanging out at college together. Later that i night i got the phone call i had been waiting for... or so i thought, it was my mom and she was crying and told me that i had got rejected. not wait listed rejected. After working so hard in high school and praying so hard i felt like i had been cheated and to be honest i was mad at God. I called my boyfriend crying and told him why read the Bible God obviously didn't care, and then he made me check myself. He said look everything happens for a reason and you can't change anything. You asked that God's will be done in your life and well his will must not be for you to be at UVA. After i thought about it he was right, that night i picked up my Bible and read some more and realized that with failure comes success and that everything really does happen for a reason. After returning home from my spring break trip me and my parents visited Liberty University, and i fell in love with it. God answers prayers, not always in the way you want them to be answered but always in the way that is best for you. My challenge this time is to pray for God's will not for what you want and whatever you end up with will be the best solution to yr problems. see James 1: 2-8, Matthew 7:7-12, and Romans 8:26-27. These verses explain that we don't know what to ask for when we pray but because we are filled with the holy spirit God knows what we need.

God has no effect on whether or not you got into UVA. An atheist with the same application probably would have reached the same point and went to a lesser university that was easier to get into. Maybe UVA read your blog and reached their conclusion based off that. But do not get upset because many people get rejected from such such pinnacle of higher education year after year and it has nothing to do with God. It is almost selfish that with millions of starving and suffering people on this planet you would blame something as trivial as what university you got into on God. It is deplorable and I hope you will examine your own faith and see that God is not the "tedder show". You are being a selfish American putting your own problems before others. ps read your bible I believe there are versus about this. God has nothing to do with your college acceptance, grow up.
