Does God truly answer prayer?

This past month I have been struggling with this a lot. I pray and I automatically assume that if I truly believe and keep repeating myself, that God will answer my prayer. He isn't a fairy. You can't keep saying "I do believe, I do believe, I doooo" to make your prayer be answered. He isn't Houdini with special magic tricks. No, he is God. Creator, Lover, Friend, Father. He knows how you feel and he always does answer prayer. It just may not be the answer you want. He may answer with "Okay." or "Be patient and wait" or maybe a flat out "No."

So I am a teenager and like most teenagers I deal with heart break. For instance, I have liked this guy for a while now. I don't tell a lot of people who I like. When they ask, I simply say no one or I make up someone so they will leave me alone. Anyways, he started to like this girl. Now don't get me wrong, this chic is so nice and I have known her for a while now. But everytime I see him with her or see them post on each others' facebooks, my heart seriously hurts. I have been praying now for a month that I will get over him because honestly, I don't want to like him; I just do. It seems like it has been getting worse and worse. So I keep praying and keep trying to wish on God like a magic fairy. Last night I realized that He isn't a magic fairy. He doesn't have special pixie dust that he will sparkle on me so my wish comes true. So here is where I am getting at...
For me, it bothers me when my prayers aren't answer. I just realized last night/this morning that God does answer my prayer. It might not be the way I want it to be answered but he does. He has a plan for me and my life and I need to trust in him. The End.
