The image,below would have done justice to your answer but knowing and seeing how your heart is trouble and heavy I will go a bit further.
One : ofcourse God answers prayers. Like I often say, the only and greatest problem between God and the expectant(man/woman) has always been " time ".
That is, man want answer to his/her prayers NOW! But when God promised us, or reveal his covenant of blessing and/or signs to buttress his answers to our prayers God would never state the time,day or hour.
That is why he's God, he works mysteriously and surprise us when we least expected. That is why the bible says :
4.2◄ Hebrews 11:1 ►
Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
Now, from the above bible verse, are you sure this isn't the case with you--if indeed you are sure your delay is nothing to do with your sins and you've searched yourself thoroughly?
Listen daughter, this isn't my first experience, infact both offline and online I've had few members who come to me to complain the same thing. But you know what? At the end of the day,at last they end up swallowing their complains and words because eventually the lord proved to them that he's a covenant living God.
Now, rather than given in to worries of tomorrow, weariness, and allow your expectations in God rob you faith and your salvation. Why not follow the word of wisdom below you, the picture?
Now, if indeed this isn't your case :
◄ Deuteronomy 23:14 ►
For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
And you've indeed :
◄ Matthew 6:33 ►
But seek first the kingdom of God??? and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Then I can assure you that these dreams,covenant and expectations in the lord shall come to pass according to God and his timing.
For it is written :
If you are indeed righteous?? ,your sure??? The bible say :
◄ Proverbs 23:18 ►
Surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Give me a call[ if you want/can] next tomorrow at 1pm.
Be strong. The lord will not forsake you. And I know, soon, just like the rest are sharing their testimonies under this ministries you will share yours too, soon..in jesus name!
Bless you.

mrsB I was once in your boat, not so long ago. I remember even writing Pastor Bankole complaining of the same thing, I just saw everything going the other way, despite the promises the Lord had given. I felt like I was just under the surface and I wasn't breaking through. I can tell you now that today I'm singing a different tune, the Lord has turned my life around in ways I could never imagine. I guess the crux of the matter is to trust the Lord AT HIS WORD. Abraham did that, he also got to a period where he was asking God how He could promise him that he would be a father of many nations if he didn't even have a son (Genesis 15). But you know what God said, He confirmed His promise again, and I guess Abraham didn't have a choice but to believe God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Imagine Noah, how foolish he must have seemed to those who were watching him build a gigantic ark, but he chose to believe the word of the Lord, and build an ark despite the fact that there was no rain. In the same way, choose daily to believe what the Lord has promised because He says He is not a man that He should lie, He doesn't tell no tales. Like Pastor Bankole said, when the time is right He will show up. I have learned also that sometimes the Lord will not give you what you want immediately because He wants you to learn the to draw close to Him in ways you never would have if things came easily. In the same breath, you get to learn to empathise with other people because you know exactly what they are going through, and you are more willing to help them.
My advise, take heart, at the right time it will come. The delay may not even be about you, but others who need you to grow in the things of the Lord so that the Lord can use you to change their lives.
Take this scripture and remind yourself everyday: Romans 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.”

I would add that it is not because you don't see what God is doing that he is not doing anything...
It takes 9 months for a baby to come to life
It takes some years for a baby to become an adult
It took time for the Jewish to get to the promise land
It is a journey
Let God grooms you and nurtures you in his word everyday and wait patiently in faith
You can remind him sometimes his promise in your life
And be ready for what is coming because what he said will surely come to pass on His time which is the best time indeed
Stay blessed

......With all prayers and supplications IN THE SPIRIT and WATCHING thereunto...... this scriptures is telling us to learn to pray in spirit and for our spiritual eyes be open to see the extent of the effect of our prayer. Praying in the spirit makes our prayer dynamic while watching helps us to know how much progress we have made in our prayer. whether to keep firing or thank God for answered prayer. When you pray like this you pray with sense of responsibility not expecting that God do magic on a prayer you've not prevailed on.Remember Elijah prayed seven times and sent his servant to WATCH. He bent himself to be conscious and pray in the spirit and he watched in every stage to see the degree of his success until the seventh prayer. This is what God expects from us but it's not possible we come to this stage except we live and walk in the spirit. Brother don't blame God but seek to be deep in God to understand spiritual laws and align yourself.
