Romans 1:10
Paul says “how constantly I remember you in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.” Paul prayed and prayed and prayed to be able to visit Rome so he could teach the Christians there. When you continually and intentionally pray about a concern, don’t be surprised at how God answers.
When Paul finally arrived in Rome, it was as a prisoner. He prayed for a safe trip, and he did arrive safely- after getting arrested, slapped in the face, shipwrecked, and bitten by a poisonous snake.
When you sincerely pray, God will answer- although sometimes with timing and in ways you wouldn’t not have expected.
Believe in what you pray for and be expectant that God will answer them ‘by His will’ – not by ours.
