Never heard of burning a candle for 40 days (or for anything other than Shabbat/holiday, in a home during the 7 days of shivah, or to commemorate the anniversary of someone’s passing).
During the 40 days of prayer, it’s important to focus on emuna in Hashem’s goodness rather than specific wishes coming true. Only He knows what is in your full best interest. Perhaps His plan is beyond your wildest dreams! This was alluded to in the article.
May you and your family be blessed always!!

I’m doing it now. But someone told me to burn a candle while doing it, and that the candle has to burn for 40 days straight, and if the candle dies that’s a bad sign, that the wish won’t come true. Have you heard about that? You don’t mention burning a candle in your article.
