I would underscore and bold this comment. "Shomea Tefilah" means that  HaShem 
always hears Tefilah. It by no means that our tefilos are always answered  in 
the manner that we seek when we utter them-even with the maximum amount of  
Kavanah. Here is a simple example- RYBS related that he once prayed that he had 
 hoped to stay in Europe pre WW2 because that was the center of the Torah 
world.  However, RYBS emigrated to the US. RYBS commented that he realized that 
despite  his tefilos, he understood in retrospect that such a prayer, even with 
the  upmost kavanah, was not destined to have been answered in the way that 
he had  intended.
