God wants a relationship with His children, and prayer is a means of communicating with our Heavenly Father. Prayer combined with faith in the Word of God, is a channel through which His power can be released to meet our needs, allowing Him to get involved in the circumstances of our lives.

When we pray, we should expect to get answers. Prayer is not a roulette game where you take as great a chance of losing as you do of hitting the jackpot. Every time we go before God in prayer, we win (we get an answer) if we are praying correctly.

Prayer & How to Do It
Most people have not been taught how to pray correctly. They believe they can say anything in any way and it will function as prayer. This is not so. There is a real lack of understanding of how prayer operates, and because of this God continues to be accused of things He had nothing to do with.
There are different kinds of prayer for different kinds of circumstances, and each kind of prayer has its own spiritual rules that govern it.

The Prayer of Faith
Mark 11:24 is the Scripture that governs the Prayer of Faith. This prayer is a petition to God for you. "Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them." Jesus did not say that you would receive something that resembled what you prayed for. No! He said you would get whatever you ask.

A Formula for Answered Prayer
Part of the formula for answered prayer is to decide what you want and then find Scripture that promises you that thing. Then once you pray you must believe that you received it. As Christians we can expect to receive the promises of God if we pray according to God's Word.
