No, no. It doesn't work like that. God's token three answers are never actually experienced directly, nor in a timely fashion. Now that you have offered your prayer, the next step is to wait (most Christians fill this waiting time by uttering the same prayer over and over again, as if God didn't hear or didn't notice the first time). You can only know when your prayer is answered once you have discovered some correlation that even vaguely resembles the content of your prayer. At this stage, you can presume that God's default position "not yet" is in effect, and will remain so until either 1) you hook up with Brooke Pancake, or 2) something more gratifying happens (which could be anything!)

The important thing is just to stick with it, and have faith.
