When we see God face to face, we may well see why it took so long for some prayers to be answered. Frank Peretti, in his book This Present Darkness portrayed angels delaying immediate intervention so that the saints would continue in prayer, for prayer strengthened the angels in their battle against the hosts of darkness. While the Bible does not support this notion, it certainly tells us that prayer strengthens the pray-er.
The most important verse here is the question posed by Jesus himself, the Word made flesh, the Word that was from the beginning and ever shall be: “When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on earth?” (v. 8, KJV)
