While you can pray for others God will not overrule free will, so perhaps you should orient your prayers differently asking instead that God give your mother patience and wisdom. Give thanks to God every day for your mother. So let's just say God heard you but the answer in that instance was no.
So what I'm saying is you need to ensure your prayers are seeking his will and his word, pray for blessing, for healing, pray that you will be a blessing to others and have the insight to help them with their problems
