QUESTION:
When a person davens for a certain thing, does he need to know at what point he should stop davening for it? If a person has been davening for a long time for something and he has not seen any change does Hashem want him to stop davening for it, or to keep davening?
ANSWER:
The main goal of our davening should not be about the results of our tefillos, but to use our problems and deficiencies as a way to build a relationship with Hashem [by davening about it]. That is why if a person feels that he’s not getting closer to Hashem by davening about a certain thing, he should stop davening about it so much and instead he should only daven about it every so often - only because we need to daven to fill what we are lacking in [and not making our relationship with Hashem dependent on our requests to Him to get answered].
QUESTION 2) When a person wants something from Hashem, does he need to keep davening about the thing that he wants? And if yes, then what is the way to do it? Should he be davening to Hashem about it throughout the day?
ANSWER Throughout the day, one should be davening for one particular request. As the day goes on, whenever a need for something arises, a person should daven about that particular need during the relevant time. And once a day, a person should daven for all of his personal requests.
