Farmers and gardeners are masters at the waiting game. They plant their seeds, monitor the weather with resignation, watch for the first little shoots to come up, and then water and feed and wait for months before they can reap their harvest of crops or vegetables or fruit or flowers. No instant gratification there.
Prayers are like that. God answers in his own way, and in his own time. Our job is to believe and wait. We know we should be patient, but it's hard sometimes. And our "harvest" may not be what we expected or dreamed about. But the harvest will come.
