Such a valuable post @gavvet! First of all, Merry Christmas to you! π
Yes, Prayers always work within the time frame of an ordained true mission, according to our divine plan. To assure the outcome is what the Creators wants and needs for that moment. All prayers are answered and many have been turned back with broken hearts because their belief that they were not heard or answered, But, their prayer was answered, but they didn't hear or noticed it.
For me, Every time I prayed, it always yielded a positive outcome. βΊπ
