Today it's as if I read this verse for the first time in my life! (He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty) You raise your hands to pray...your soul tells you: Those better than you prayed and Allah did not respond to them...tell it: It is Allah! (He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty) (He is not questioned about what He does, but they will be questioned) (Indeed, Allah provides for whom He wills without account)... So He may give me even though He did not give those better than me, and His not giving what they wished may be better for them...and yet He will fully give them their reward in the way He wills, Glory be to Him... The important thing: Call upon Allah with great hope, and do not let what you see of people's conditions prevent you.
