Additional conditions for answered prayers

Confess your sins to God so that your sins will no longer stand in the way. Remember that to be forgiven, we must be forgiving of everyone (Matthew 6:12,14-15; Isaiah 59:2).

One's motives should not be selfish, greedy or trying to impress others (James 4:2-3; Matthew 6:5-6; 18:9-14).

Study the Bible to know and pray according to God's mind and will (John 15:7; 1 John 5:14-15; Matthew 4:4).

Believe—have full faith in God's love, mercy and promises—and expect answers (Mark 11:24; Hebrews 10:22,38-39; 11:6; James 1:5-6).

Be extremely grateful to God and express thanksgiving and praise profusely (Philippians 4:6; Colossians 4:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).

Be wholehearted, fervent, passionate in prayer (James 5:16; Psalm 119:145; Hosea 7:14).

Multiple repetitions of words and phrases are worthless, although Christ taught persistence in repeating a petition to God day after day (Matthew 6:7-8; Luke 11:5-13; 18:1-7).

Ask God to guide and inspire you with His Holy Spirit (Romans 8:14-15,26-27; John 14:26). GN
