If you feel your prayers are not being answered, then upon you is to do Tawbah and lots of Istighfaar:
`Alee bin Abu Taalib رضي الله عنه said:
A calamity does not descend except due to a sin, and it is not lifted except with repentance.
[al-Jawaab al-Kaafee (85)]

A man once complained to Hassan Al-Basri رحمه الله of drought and shortage of water. Hassan said to him, "Ask Allaah for forgiveness." Another man complained of poverty, and his reply was, "Ask Allaah for forgiveness." A third complained: "O Abu Saeed (Hassan Al-Basri), pray to Allaah that he bestow upon me a child for I am childless", and he replied, "Ask Allaah for forgiveness." The fourth one complained that his harvest had failed, and Hassan replied in the same way. So one of those who were sitting (in the gathering) said, "There came to you men with different complaints but you instructed them all to repent to Allaah and ask Him for forgiveness." So Al-Hassan replied that Allaah says (in the Qur’aan):
﴿ فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاء عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا ﴾
{I (Nuh) said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft-forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance, and give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.} [Surah An-Nuh (71): 10-12]
