How does one get prayers answered?

Some people also have found help through fasting. This is when you go without food or water intentially. When I do this, I do it for two meals or twenty-four hours. Before you begin, you pray and explain that you are doing this to show humility and that you want to find the answer to such and such during the time. Then several times throughout the day, pray again about your question. End with prayer again.

God hears, even when you don't know what to say. The best is to make sure you have time set aside - a good half-hour at least, and have a bible near you. Jot down thoughts about your feelings, concerns, whatever, so you have them fresh in your mind, and read a little, whatever passage sticks out to you, but not too much so you can still focus and think. Don't feel obligated to say anything; probably 80% of prayer is listening. Think and dwell on God. Make peace with His presence (I don't mean that you have a quarrel, but acknowledge His presence), think about everything that He is and what faith means to you, and say things only when you have a prompting to speak to Him. Otherwise, listen. And when He's not speaking, just enjoy His company. Cry if you need to. Laugh if you need to. Just make sure you won't be disturbed. Don't hurry through it, but when you feel there's nothing left to bring forth to Him, thank Him for everything you can think of, and bless (yes, bless) Him.\n\nYou might not have said much, but He will have heard loads.

1.) Pray and tell others to pray\n2.) Try doing what pleases Him\n3.) Be in touch with good Christians, being influenced by them is a good thing\n4.) Read the Holy Bible even just the Bible stories so you will know how God is like\n5.) Bible study\n6.) Talk to God like how you talk with a friend. Tell Him how your day was. Try to get a ballpen or something you commonly use and treat it as a symbol that whenever you see it, you will tell God what happened in the day... sort of like a journal.\nGOD BLESS! I'LL PRAY FOR YOU!

The prayer's so powerful. You just have to have faith when you pray. Our prayer's always heard by God. He never forgotten nor ignore us. Things just don't happen right away. God let things to happen according to His plans and not according to our own will. Sometimes, you'll be surprised cuz He'll give you better and bigger than what you've asked for.

God will hear the prayers of His children and answer based on His will and their faith. If you aren't born again, the only prayer that God is waiting to hear is a prayer of repentance asking for forgiveness.

when we pray, we should first, thank God.  Whatever I can find to be thankful for, I name it.  Second, pray for others according to their needs.  Finally, whatever troubles you have on your heart, lay them before God.

If you need to offer a prayer in a group of people, and it's a tricky political situation, you might want to try one of Peter Marshall's prayers. (He used to be the chaplain of the Senate) His wife, Catherine Marshall, once a well-known author, compiled his most moving prayers into a book, "The Prayers of Peter Marshall", found at the following link:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0310602378/002-2930170-8974424?v=glance&n=283155\n\nor this link:\n\nhttp://www.cresourcei.org/prayers.html\n\nHis prayers are uplifting, well-worded, and not offensive to any group of people. I used one of them for a very large gathering once, filled with people who had conflicting, special interests and received only positive comments.

God, if one is in right standing with Him, provides for us in the best way for us.  He answers prayers, but He does not do so necessarily the way we would like Him to.\n\nAs far as our wants, God knows our needs and that sometimes our wants interfere with our needs.  \n\nThe key is to get in right standing with God and then trust Him to know and provide what is necessary for you to prosper spiritually in your life.

If it's something that you really want and God knows you'll be happy, He'll answer your prayer. He knows what He's doing. God knows what's best for people and He knows what they want. You just need to pray and talk to Him. \n\nIf it was really ment to be, God will know. He wants you to be happy.

Prayer to me is like talking to a friend about issues that you can't figure out on your own. I consider God to be my best friend and He listens to me, the funny thing is that He already knows what I am going to say before I say it. As far as answered prayers, just because you don't get what you want or asked for, doesn't mean that your prayers are not answered. See we don't always know what is best for us so even though it seems like He did not answer you, someday or sometime you will say wow He did answer, just not the way I thought He would. \n\nKeep talking to Him and praise Him for everything you have or happens to you good or bad. He loves you and knew you before you were here.
