Prayer

1 John 5:14-15 KJV And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. Prayer does not begin with what we desire or need or how much we need it. But Prayer begins with the will of God. Are you asking for something that will help the purpose of God in you? Or are you just imitating others as others do it too? For prayer is asking God according to His will for your life.
Do you have a clear vision about your life?A clear revelation of the purpose of God in your life. Then you cannot begin to ask for stuff yet. Do in your infancy take time to know who you are in Christ, so when you pray you may pray according to God's will and design for your life. For you might say God is not answering where as you are praying according to your feelings. And when you pray according to your feelings it is for eye service.
To prove self not God; but when you pray according to the clear revelation God gave you about your life it command and demands results. To help you run the course of God's will for your life
