Esther made a tough prayer.She fasted day and night and prayed. Sometimes God expects a prayer like this. We should pray with fasting. Because of Esther's prayer the whole nation was saved.

Daniel kneeled and prayed even after knowing that the writing was signed by the king. The document was signed and everything was over but still he prayed. Wa should have this spirit even in the hopeless situation. We should keep on praying, God will respond our prayers by changing everything.
