Prayers don't expire!

E.M. Bounds says this: “God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God…”

Prayers are deathless. I've told thousands of people over the years that their prayers will never die. Prayers live on!

Prayers don't expire!

You are not walking void of a prayer — you are the answer to a prayer! Never forget this. You never got here on your own. There was something of the divine working way back there that marked you before you ever were born. Before you were ever in your mother's womb, something of the divine already marked you for a time and a place.

We pray a prayer today, and we walk in it at some time in the days to come. Prayers that were prayed by the forefathers that they never walked in, we get to walk in them! “Know therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His faithfulness to a thousand generations for those who love Him and keep His commandments.” (Deut. 7:9 NASB)

God always hears the prayers of the righteous, and we can be confident that those prayers we make according to His Will (simple to find in the Bible) are answered as soon as we pray them. Don't allow time to dissuade you, but keep thanking Him for the answer, for the manifestation of His Promise in your life!

1 John 5:14-15 AMPC

14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.
