God will hear whatever you pray. If you think you need to quote bible verses in your prayers on certain subjects, just turn to the back of the Bible where they usually point out where to find phrases for different category of problems for you to refer. From there you select them for your prayers. I am sure you do attend church, go and approach an elder of the church and I am sure they would open their arms to help you. Always bear in mind GOD said in the bible 'Seek and you shall receive'. May GOD bless you and answer your prayers....

You got it!!! Prayer is not words... but what is in your heart... the motive for the prayer... the honesty within the mind, heart and soul as you say the "words."  You can recite a formula of words... and it can be effective as LONG as you mean what your are reciting in you mind, heart and soul.  Your attitude, motive and integrity of your prayer is what counts.... as that prayer is laid at the foot of God's throne... I try to imagine that it needs to be a "good prayer" to be outstanding from all the other prayers to get God's attention  (LOL).  Sounds childish, I know, but it keeps me on tract when I pray... to settle in my mind, heart and soul, the RIGHT attitude, motive and integrity for the basis of my prayer.  Who helps you with this action... THE DIVINE HOLY SPIRIT!  If we knew how often the Holy Spirit worked within us in our daily lives, to motive us to live correctly, we would be surprised... so ask the Holy Spirit to be your daily companion, and to help you in your daily life... and see what happens when you give the Holy Spirit recognition and gratitude for its help....\n\nPS:  When you pray... you address your prayers to the Heavenly Father... in the name of Jesus, the Christ as Jesus taught us to... We do not pray to Jesus... we pray to God the Father in Jesus's name...

Prayer is many things, but most importantly, it is communication with the Almighty. This means it is conversation, not a monologue. When I pray, I try to spend more time listening than talking ... I figure God knows more than I do, so He should have the bulk of the time to do the talking :)\n\nFor my part, there are the short "HELP! ! ! " kind of prayers when I'm in a bind; the pouring out my heart to God, kind of prayers; the lifting up a brother or sister who is in a bind kind; the deep and travailing intercession for others; prayers of blessing for my friends (and enemies); praying for protection, wisdom, direction, etc.\nIn short, even though the form of the prayer changes with the circumstance, the Object of the prayer (God) remains a constant, so any prayer that is prayed in veiw of God's glory being manifested in the greatest possible way, is assured of a positive answer.\nI do try to pray for things VERY specifically (God, please bless Tom by giving him a job that will let him spend more time with his kids, and still pay the bills), as opposed to general prayers like "God, please bless Tom." In this way, I can know with greater certainty that God has answered the prayer (He may very well answer both, but If I have only prayed a general prayer, I won't know if it's really God answering or just 'the way things turned out').\n\nIn my experience the best prayers start with listening to God, finding out what is on God's heart, and then praying for that to happen.\n\nEdit: I wanted to add that prayer does not have to be done in any set or formal way (although formal prayers are not wrong), or use a bunch of high-sounding words that lack personal meaning but sound 'religious'.\n\nAlso, I think God likes us to be 'dirt honest' with Him (It's not like we are really hiding anything from Him anyway). Sometimes my prayers are more like yelling at God, and sometimes I get downright demanding (like a child who still has some 'growing up' to do), but I know that God is big enough not to be threatened by my anger, frustration, disillusionment, disapointment, etc, and even when these emotion are directed at Him, he is patient with me, and (I think) is actually just as pleased in those times as much as the ones we usually refer to as a "good prayer time".

Try praying to God a lot.  More than likely, He'll tell you the answer (although maybe not in the way you were expecting).  But ultimately, you have to do what seems right.

Be sincere with the Lord and pray and ask for His help.  There is a song that says I prayed my way out of trouble.

I see that you are fearful of what people may say. I know how that's like " in school I had to pray for a friend right in front of the whole school and i did it. If you are christian and someone ask you to pray for him/her right  here  and there or a brother ask you to help him pray for a person that second go ahead because god is with you guys. what a honor to pray for someone who understand that they need god to help him/her. Also you lay hands on him/her. Don't misunderstand what I am saying just put a hand over his/her head and pray your heart. The Prayer can be about healing if they need it or about over all status.

Have Courage\n\nFather, thank You for comforting and assuring me of Your divine intervention as I walk this journey here on earth. I dwell, remain and settle down under the shadow of the Almighty. I say of the Lord that You are my Refuge, my place of Protection. You are my God, True and Faithful. You are my Security. You did not give me a spirit of fear – but a spirit of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. In Your name I bind my emotions to the control of the Holy Spirit and go forth with confidence. Amen.

Like you I pray daily that God would lift me into his arms and carry me home; but then he reminds me that he's not through with what he has for me to do.  I have seizures, as many as 4 to 5 a day, and therefore may lose as many as six hours a day of memory - it is very hard for me as I'm constantly wondering if I even had a day, but knowing full well that I am God's daughter and that the Holy spirit resides within me, and knowing that "I" feel like a burden to my family, God is teaching far greater lessons to those around me.  We may not always like the situation God places us in or how he allows our flesh to be used, but our Spirit is his, so who are we to be anything less than content.  That might not bring you much comfort other than to know you are not alone - you have my permission to contact me if you would like to share more personally you're experiences, as God has had me writing poetry for 20 years that deals with so many issues that I'm sure it is no coincidence he has had me online at this point in time to answer your question.  Heavenly Father, I empathize with this one as you know I too beg with each unconscious state to slip on into your abode, but you keep rudely(!) sending me back to these who I love and who are still needing taught of your mercy and grace, and I am glad each time you send someone into my life, as I can no longer get out, to share how wonderful and merciful you are!  Bring a contentment and peace that passeth understanding into this ones life as you have mine. Amen.

If you do not know Christ as Saviour He will not hear your prayers, also the Bible tells us that if you have sin in your heart He will not hear your prayers. When it comes to praying we are told that we must pray according to His will. Is what you are asking in accordance to His will or yours? If interested I put together a very good outline on how to pray and why God answers us the way he does. It lists many Bible verses to direct you. If you would like a copy you may e-mail me and ask for it, I will send it at no charge and I do not pester people with literature or e-mails so don't be afraid of contacting me.

Perhaps you need to stop praying at God and surrender to God. Your attitude clearly shows that you feel you are the god of your life and are unwilling to even consider who the one True God really is and what He might want for your life. Try saying this prayer from your heart and out loud.\n\nDear God I have struggled with who you are and why you have not done as I have asked and begged for you to do for so long. Where have I gone wrong God? What is it you want from me? I mean I admit I am a sinner you already know that. Why then won't you do what I ask......Oh I see that would make me God and I have been telling you the Creator of all things what you should and shouldn't do. Please forgive me Dear God. Help me Dear God to understand. I can't do this anymore and I now surrender to my Creator. Dear God i accept your Son's death on the cross as payment for all my sins. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I give you my life from this day forward. Please send the gift of the Holy Spirit to live within me from this day forward to comfort me and Guide me all the days of my life. I thank you for all you have already done for me Dear Jesus and I ask you to help me to understand what you want me to do with my life and why I have gone through so much. I accept the Holy Trinity, there Persons yet only one true God. In the Holy name of my lord and Savior Jesus Christ I pray all this and accept you now in faith, Amen

You should be able to find books of prayers at the library.  Prayers from the heart are nice, but they tend to ramble.  You could write your own prayer, and it is still from the heart.  Whatever you use be sure to include their names, ask God to bless their marriage, thank God for all that has brought them to that time and place.

I don't know specifically what you mean by "study prayer". But in order to pray about studying, like for an upcoming test, this is what you could pray (prayer is just talking to God, it's not magical words or phrases, just be honest and respectful)\n\nGod, thank you for all you have helped me accomplish in my classes.  Please show me how to best study for my upcoming exam.  Give me clarity of thought and an understanding of how I can best use my time to remember this information.  Help me to discern what information is most important and most of all, give me endurance in studying so that I can do my best, for your Glory.

Use the diagram of the lords prayer.acknowledge God in His majesty and power. admit your sins pray for others who you feel have sinned against you if you are unable to forgive them. Ask for your requests to be granted if they are in accordance with His will realizing we ask for things that may not be good for us
