The specific situation I have been praying on has not changed for the better yet - in fact, it appears to have gotten worse.
However - I have also been praying for increased faith and patience, in order to have peace in the midst of the storm as I wait for my blessings to manifest. I am proud to report that I feel I am receiving that! I have been in the battle for so long that I was beginning to wonder if I was praying for the wrong thing and that maybe the desires of my heart were purely selfish and not in alignment with God's Will. However my cousin advised me to listen to the song "I Give Myself Away" yesterday. I listened to that song and then just meditated on it. I begin to feel peace in my heart and I heard the Holy Spirit provide me direction. He told me to hang on, continue to pray, persevere and have faith - dont give up!
So while I have yet to receive the blessings I have been praying for, I have received the peace in my spirit to know that they're coming in His due time. It felt amazing to sit there and really "hear" direction from God!
