There is a way God desires us to respond after we have prayed. Jesus told us, “Have faith in God.” In other words, once you have expressed your needs to God in prayer, believe you’ve received it and it will surely come to pass.
The word of God says to us in 1 John 5: 14; And this is the confidence we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us
This means you don’t have to wait impatiently to see whether your prayer will be answered, it’s already answered! What remains is for that reality to reflect in your life in God’s perfect timing. Prayer is never a waste of our time.
