God is always with us in our day to day lives. He is always watching us, and in this case, listening to us. Prayer is a powerful thing and can be very helpful in times of need. One thing that makes us human is the fact that we all make mistakes, and that we all have our own personal faults. We all must realize that it is not a weakness to ask for help from God when we really need it. Whether you are stuck writing a thesis paper or just having a rough day, God is always there to listen to you when you need him. He is there for us to show us the way to accomplish the things we pray for.
And on the opposite side of that idea, he may show us a way to something different than what we prayed to him for. Sometimes what we pray for isn't always what we need, and God knows that. Instead of granting us every wish like a genie or something out of a story book, God shows us a different path where we may learn something about ourselves. You catch yourself looking around at the things you have in your life and you realize how lucky you really are.
At that same moment you realize how great God is. You thank him for the prayers that he has answered and those "Unanswered Prayers" where he led you down a different path than you wanted. We have many sayings for what God is, and in this case, for me, God is happiness. God will lead you to a path of happiness and we must follow if we are to be truely happy.
P.S. If you didn't get the Garth Brooks reference or the "Unanswered Prayers" part: listen to the Garth Brooks song "Unanswered Prayers"
