Are you praying for healing and have not yet been healed?
Are you praying to be set free from something that holds you bound and have not yet been set free?
Are you praying for the healing of your marriage and you still struggle as a couple?
Are you praying for the salvation of a loved one and they are still far from God?
If you are, then keep on praying.
Jesus told the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8), and the man knocking at the door in the middle of the night looking for bread (Luke 11:5-13) as examples of persistent prayer.
St. Augustine's mother, St. Monica, prayed for many, many years for her wayward son before he was finally converted (and look how God used him after that!).
We don't know why some prayers are answered immediately, some in a short time and others not for years and years. What we do know is that God hears and answers all our prayers--none are wasted. So keep on praying.
