¹² Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. ¹³ But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. ¹⁴ Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” (Daniel 10)

A prayer delayed is not a prayer unanswered. There are so many things that we don't know and we don't understand that the proper course of action is to live humbly before God. Daniel prayer was answered the first time he prayed, but it took twenty-one days for the answer to arrive to him, because "the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted the dispatched angel twenty-one days." Jesus told us to persevere in prayer, this is what we need to do. 

Please read Daniel 9 - 12. And Listen.

May the Lord richly bless you!
