Why Is Prayer Like a Seed That Seems to Disappear into the Ground?
What can sustain prayer when we do not see an immediate answer?
This Hagut Yosef essay compares prayer to planting: a seed disappears beneath the soil before any growth becomes visible. The source uses that image to encourage patience and perseverance in prayer within a faith framework. It does not promise that every request will be granted in the form or timing a person expects, and it does not replace practical action where action is needed.
