Does chronologically misaligned prayer still work?

Earlier this week I had a job interview for a teaching job.

At approximately the some time, someone else in my small group was also having a job interview.

The both of us mentioned this to the members of our small group, many whom passed on best wishes and prayer.

But, there were a few who passed on their well-wishes too late.

By the time they sent a message, the interviews had both already concluded.

This made me wonder, what did God do with that prayer?

In theory, prayer uttered out of time sequence shouldn’t be a great problem.

God exists outside of time.

He can honour a chronologically challenged prayer since He hears the heart, mind, motivations and words of the one praying.

Outside of the clock.

He can move in alignment with the prayer, despite the prayer not having left their lips yet.

But… if unchronological prayer works, how long is it effective?

A few hours?

The same day?

Up until the point that the prayer discovers the result?

Nonetheless, prayer - in part - is about transforming the one who up is lifting up the prayer.

It is a way to show support for a fellow believer.

This works at any time.
