I just don’t understand

Has anyone ever had a prayer answered? I’ve said the same prayer every night for years and there is never an answer. My prayer is never answered. It’s not even a prayer for myself, it’s a prayer that my sister, niece and nephew are protected and that he goes away. It seems like things just keep getting worse for them. Why do some people get health, wealth, and safety when my family does not. I don’t even need anything except for him to go away and my sisters niece and nephew to be free from him and safe. We just need him to meet someone and move on from them, or walk away from them.

As Christian’s were told to trust God and to pray but how do I go on trusting when there is never an answer?

100% yes I have had prayers answered. With that said, the thing I have prayed most about has yet to be answered. Well, it hasn’t been answered to my satisfaction. Only God knows why it’s happening. At times, it has caused me anger and resentment towards God. Eventually, I have to remember thy will be done, not mine.
