How can we develop a powerful prayer life? Learn how to gain the power of prayer at first.

By solving these 3 problems, your prayers will become effective and be acceptable to God.

We all know that prayer is the way by which we build a normal relationship with God, and we expect our prayer have God’s praise. Most of the time, however, we can’t feel God’s presence in our prayer. Is there something wrong with our prayer? What problem should we solve first and then our prayer can be heard by God? Resolve the three obstacles in prayer and then your prayer will be heard by God

1. In Prayer, Do You Speak to God Openly, Confiding in Him Your True Thoughts?

The Lord Jesus said, “When the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth” (John 4:23–24). 

Almighty God says: “The lowest standard that God requires of people is that they be able to open their hearts to Him. If man gives his true heart to God and says what is really within his heart to God, then God is willing to work in man; God does not want the twisted heart of man, but his pure and honest heart. If man does not truly speak his heart to God, then God does not touch man’s heart, or work within him. Thus, the most crucial thing about praying is to speak the words of your true heart to God, telling God of your flaws or rebellious disposition and completely opening yourself up to God. Only then will God be interested in your prayers; if not, then God will hide His face from you” (“Concerning the Practice of Prayer” in The Word Appears in the Flesh).

2. Are You Praying to Practice the Lord’s Words and Achieve Life Growth?

The Lord Jesus said, “And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened” (Luke 11:9–10)

3. Do You Pray to Seek Understanding of God’s Will and to Stand Witness for Him?

how should we pray so we are in line with God’s will? God's words direct us onto that path: “When you encounter difficulties, hurry up and pray to God: ‘O God! I wish to satisfy You, I wish to endure the final hardship to satisfy Your heart, and regardless of how great the setbacks I encounter, still I must satisfy You. Even if I have to give up my whole life, still I must satisfy You!’ With this resolve, when you pray thus you will be able to stand firm in your testimony” (“Only Loving God Is Truly Believing in God”). “You hurt inside, and your suffering has reached a certain point, yet you are still willing to come before God and pray, saying: ‘O God! I cannot leave You. Although there is darkness within me, I wish to satisfy You; You know my heart, and I would that You invest more of Your love within me’” (“Only by Experiencing Refinement Can Man Truly Love God”).

These are the three issues we must resolve in our prayer. As long as we practice and enter in according to these principles in our daily lives, I am confident that all of us, brothers and sisters, will reap rewards we never dreamed of.
