For God To Answer Our Prayers

 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him - 1 John 5:14-15.

Approach God with a clean heart

If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear - Psalm 66:18. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear - Isaiah 59:2.

Help the poor

Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard - Proverbs 21:13.

Be righteous

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil - 1 Peter 3:12.

Ask according to His will

Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us - 1 John 5:14.

Keep His commandments and do things that please God

And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight - 1 John 3:22.

Forgive others

And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses - Mark 11:25,26.

Do not pray with selfish motives

When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures - James 4:3.

Abide in God

If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you - John 15:7.

                                           

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the Lord who answers our prayers. Help us to approach You with a clean heart. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
