       Sometimes we see the effects of our prayer right away. I mean, say, a day or two, maybe three days later, we see that our prayer has been expediently answered. It didn’t take God long. He worked his angels to get what we needed, or what someone else we prayed for needed. Sometimes it is a week, but nevertheless we considered that the prayer was still answered relatively fast. We are happy with the result—the speed. We go back to God in prayer and thank him for doing what we wanted, which is usually what he wanted too (whether or not we believe that yet). We praise God and thank God for his generosity toward us, or toward our friend. But then—oh yes—then there are those prayers we speak to God of which we don’t see any physical result. Sometimes we’ve only be praying about it for a couple days, or sometimes we’ve been praying about it for twenty years. Yet, we haven’t seen God answer the prayer. We wonder to ourselves, is God even hearing this prayer? Is God going to answer it?
