A friend of mine lost a family member after a long illness. They had been through a rough life of addiction. She had prayed faithfully for him over the years. In the final days while he was sick the family prayed for him and seen some improvement. Then he died suddenly.  My Christian friend had faith that the family member was saved but wasn’t  a 100% sure. Weeks later she was going through his Bible and found a letter where 10 years prior he had accepted Jesus as his savior. This of course confirmed a 100% that he was with Jesus now. Looking back through the years of prayer offered up for him it now became clear Jesus was listening the whole time. Let’s be clear, we are all human and have doubts, but when we do, we need to go the Mathew 11:28-30 (NIV)

   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. ^29. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ^30. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

We forget often that God is in the middle of the plan, HIS PLAN, not our plan.

Isaiah 65;:24 (NIV) Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. Jeremiah 29:12-13 (NIV) Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. ^13. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 

And the one that covers it: Romans 8:26-27 (NIV)  In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. ²⁷ And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

We know not how God works, but we know He does.  Doubt can only be overcome by site or faith. Remember who we are talking about, follow His will, He is the, I AM. “HE GOT THIS”
