Pray Effectively

How can we know if we are praying effectively? By getting our lives positioned properly with the Lord.

That begins with a relationship with Jesus. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me.” He is the mediator between God and us. He alone can take the holy hand of God and the hand of sinful man and bring us together because He is God in flesh and He died for us on the cross.

So if you want prayer to be answered in your life, then you need to surrender your life to Jesus Christ.

Next, remain in close fellowship with Him. Stay clean and close. Jesus said, “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask what you will and it will be done for you” (John 15:7).

We need to get right with the Lord—we have our hearts right with the Lord—and we need to get right with one another. Jesus said in Mark 11 “When you pray, forgive if you have anything against anyone” (verse 25).

So we get our hearts right and then we pray in faith trusting that God—as faithful as He has been in the past and as faithful as He is in His Word—is going to be faithful again in the situation that you are dealing with.

So get right with the Lord and then begin to pray in faith and watch God work on your behalf.
