Our natural response when not getting what we want, I believe, is to respond in some way. Some rebel by doing something they KNOW isn't right in order to "feel" better, we may shop, we may ignore the one who isn't giving us our desire, we may respond by raising our voices or fussing.
Sadly, I've done all of these things in response to prayers not being answered and what I am learning to do is to continue trusting God for the desires of my heart and trusting His plan for my life. It's easy to rebel or ignore but when you realize that not getting what you want WHEN you want it could possibly be for YOUR benefit (not to mention the glory of God) it's a bit easier to keep trucking. A BIT... not always a lot.
But, keep trusting God. Have faith. Stay focused on Him. Continue read the Word. When you're feeling frustrated or alone - realize that God is with you and has never left you alone.
Romans 8:28 "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord and who are called according to His purpose."
Trust God. Have faith.
