Philippians 1:19
For I am well assured and indeed know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul) and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel. (Amplified)
Often times when we have prayed for God to reveal a certain thing to us, and when He comes back with the verdict and it is no, will you still say yes? Will you still have the same praise, will you continue to invite people to church and sing songs of Zion? In fact your praise should be so radical that it sets the whole church on "BLAZE". If the Pastor ask you to invite nine people you should invite twenty. Your songs of Zion should be so sweet that the aroma from your singing should influence your whole block to want to be saved. In the midst of the "No" we should still continue to have "fail proof faith" believing God for just about anything. The Amplified version says "this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul). Push past your pain, take a licking and keep on ticking, and know that it is working out for your good.
I say Yes Lord Yes to Your Will and to ALL Your ways!!!!!
Gideon's lamps were revealed when his soldier's' pitchers were broken. If our pitchers are broken for the Lord and His gospel's sake, lamps will be revealed that otherwise would have stayed hidden and unseen.....Out of affliction's dark comes spiritual light. ---John Bunyan

Sometimes when God allows a to door close the pain and disappointment are natural. However our trust in God and our knowledge of his character should overshadow the doubt we may feel. Our trials can lead us closer to him.
