Why do things sometimes stay the same, or even get worse, after praying?

I sometimes have an unusual experience. I looked at posts on other Christian sites, and see some other people have had this, too. Like, I'll hit something with prayer, and even from a few angles. {call in prayer lines, prayer boxes in churches, etc.} But soon after the prayers go up, I get a "reminder" that the problem is still there!! {And it's not lack of faith, because when I first started doing it, after hanging up from the prayer line, I felt good, believing that the problem was over}. But for example, if the prayer was to get a troublesome person out of my life, soon after I hung up from the prayer line, and happy believing that the problem was over, my cellphone rings, and when I look at the screen, whose number? The troublesome person!! {Was the first one who called after the prayer!} And in a few other categories. {I've even had where the problem wasn't "on me" at the moment, but after praying it reared its head!!} So what's actually happening here? I can think of a well-known TV pastor, who called for 30 days of prayer from his followers, to prevent a certain ungodly person to get elected, but the person still got elected!! {Yet the election 8 years later, I and many Christians prayed, and in that case their prayers were answered!!} {So it's not just me} So what's actually happening here?

Be assured that God's kingdom is established for ever and in Jesus we have direct access to God by the Holy Spirit. All victories have been won by Jesus our Lord and Savior over every situation. The devil and his hierarchy have been defeated once and for all and will be eradicated and thrown into hell at the battle of Armageddon. I encourage you to remain steadfast in Jesus and diligently seek Him and you will find Him. Your victories are in Jesus for you are a branch of Him the true vine.

So looking forward to when the Lord comes Amen

If the problem still there and cannot be moved, then it is time to call on the Lord. He will move those problems away from you and will make it a blessing to many. Gossip is one big problem we face in our churches. I have prayed that it will stop all gossip and Jesus heard our prayer and it stopped and now instead of gossip we hear praises to Jesus, sharing the wonderful blessings God has given to us. Just trust in the Lord, wait, believe and it will happen. Sooner or later Jesus will move in and calm the storm.

I face the same experience too, but I will keep praying. I believe God will answer my prayer and for some reasons, I believe God will tell me why He doesn’t answer my prayer but I will not give up until God answer my prayers.

the message GOD is not a wizard...it's true
christian they take God as their fire emergency helper which is not GOOD.
WE worship God because he is GOD he made us to worship him, truly we don't worship him for all the things we want. it is HIS duty to see that I need this and that for us our role is to worship him.

True ### we need no to give up...HE has many reasons why he don't answer our prayers.

Everything is in God's timing, not ours....prayer is very powerful and important.
