"We are promised that if we pray sincerely for that which is right and good and in accordance with God’s will, we can be blessed, protected, and directed." - Elder David A. Bednar, Pray Always, October 2008
Notice he did not say that we are granted what we want just by praying about it. He said that "we can be blessed, protected, and directed" (in what ways he did not say) if we seek to do the will of God in our prayers. The blessings and protection come according to the will of our Heavenly Father. The direction comes to align our will to the will of the Father. What a remarkable promise we have as we pray sincerely!
