Pray with thanksgiving.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Pray with assurance of faith.
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know (Jeremiah 33:3).
Pray with submission to God.
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying “Father, if it is Your will, remove this cup from Me, nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done (Luke 22:41-42).”
Pray with earnestness and importunity, which is persistence, especially to the point of annoyance.
The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months (James 5:16-17).
Pray with humility.
If my people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Pray with confidence in God.
When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me (Psalm 56:9).
Pray with the spirit of understanding.
I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also (1 Corinthians 14:15).
