Catechism of the Catholic Church
Paragraph 2734
Filial trust is tested-it proves itself-in tribulation. The principal difficulty concerns the prayer of petition, for oneself or for others in intercession. Some even stop praying because they think their petition is not heard. Here two questions should be asked: Why do we think our petition has not been heard? How is our prayer heard, how is it "efficacious"? (2629)
