  1. Be still before God and careful not to speak in haste as you pray. Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
  2. Come Boldly – A timid spirit is not from God and will affect your prayers. 2 Timothy 1:7. Come Boldly to the throne of Grace Hebrews 4:16
  3. Focus on your time with God settle your mind – Cast down all thoughts and arguments in your mind before you pray. 2 Corinthians 10:5
  4. If you are going to commune with God, there cannot be any barriers or aprons (hiding areas) preventing intimacy with God. Genesis 3:7 No matter how imperfect you are, God loves you and desires to fellowship with you. Romans 8:38
  5. When you stand to pray, forgive. Mark 11:25 unforgiveness and unsettled disputed hinder your prayers. 1 Peter 3:7 Study the word and pray for the person that has offended you. Matthew 5:44
  6. Be Patient – A lack of patience can hinder answered prayer. James 1:3 Man ought always to pray and not faint. Luke 18:1
  7. Believe – When you pray, believe. Matt 21:22 He that cometh to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of Heb 11:6. Bring your struggle to believe God in prayer that He may minister hope to you. Wavering faith receives nothing from God. James 1:1-8
  8. Come to Fellowship – Prayer is not only making requests develop a heart to fellowship with God’s presence. Psalm 16:11
