Hava's prayer and perspective

I have a sweet three year old that repeatedly says in her prayers: "And please bless the baby in mommy's tummy to come out soon."  We smile indulgently, or gently remind her that it won't come for some time, so it will be healthy.

It struck me the last time I heard her, knowing that what she prayed for was good, but not good now:  I wonder if Heavenly Father hears our prayers  and thinks the same thing..."That is good to ask for, but it is not for the best,...not now."

There is a great Ensign article in the latest edition: http://www.lds.org/ensign/2012/07/when-good-plans-dont-work-out?lang=eng

It goes right along with this concept.  I think this is something I need to work on :).
