God said My will is that no one should perish. So, praying for someones salvation is in line with Gods word. And If we have prayed in line with Gods word, then we know He has heard us. Daniel prayed for 21 days, and when the angel got to him with his message (answer to his prayer) the angel told him. The MOMENT you prayed (with faith) your prayer was answered. It took 21 days for me to get the answer to you, because the prince of Persia (a demonic spirit from satan) was witholding me. So, instead of praying for it for 21 days, or months or whatever, waiting to SEE it in the natural, we need Praise God that it is done (in the spiritual) Faith is the evidence of things not seen, walk by faith and not by sight. And when you have done all you know to do, Hold fast to your confession. We see the outter appearence but, God looks at the heart. It may seem to get worse, but, that could be because she is struggling to make the most important dession in her life. Of course satan will attack anyone who are considering to follow Christ. Satan wants to pull them down and tell them it's Gods fault. If you have prayed a prayer of faith, then Praise God for the answer. When you keep asking over and over again, it's like a little kid pulling on moms sleeve and saying 'Mom? mom? mom? mom? mom? mom? mom?' We don't need to beg God. So, Praise God for Amandas salvation. Pray that God showers her with blessings. Pray that she becomes a strong in the word. Then Praise God for those things. Give God Praise in everything.
