Hello, there are circumstances where people have sudden accidents or sicknesses that caused them to “cry out for help”. Meaning they just have a continued pray in their hearts and never really stop. Prayers of this nature always happen in emergencies when people are in a sudden tragedy. A person may sit for years in this situation and may endure tribulation for a very long time. There is nothing to be surprised or ashamed of lots of people have done this. In the Bible there is the story of Samuel’s mother Hannah that wanted a child very badly and she prayed constantly for one, 1 Samuel chapter 1.
