Yes, I understand it was just an example and I was simply building on your example. You may pray for something that is well within God's will for your life. All things work for the good of those who love God, right? Lisa still has a choice. I have seen a lot of misunderstanding around the choices we have and self will versus God's will. Some people will say that everything happens according to the will of God as if He were forcing us to actually break His commandments. I see His will operating in three separate ways: sovereign, moral, and permissive. His moral will is that we love one another. That is plainly seen in Scripture. How that love manifests may be as life partners or simply friends or even not having anything much to do with each other. Having things work out as per your prayers does not mean you forced God's hand in any way, or Lisa's either.
