God answers our prayers according to His will. He promises to bless us, but not with everything we want, but rather with everything He wants for us. When we pray for things that we want, He can’t always give them to us. It would not always be best for us to have what we want. But when we pray for things God wants for us, He can give them to us. The things He wants for us will always be best for us. Mighty prayers are prayers that God can answer. The more experience we have with God, the more we will know what kind of things He wants for us, but we don’t have to guess what we should pray for.

Ask God what He wants you to pray for. Then pray for the things you receive as the answer. God can answer these prayers quickly and powerfully, because they are His will. God can make His will known to you. Your prayers can be directed by God. This is mighty prayer. 

Mighty prayer is more than just saying a prayer. It is a communication process. The communication goes both ways. You speak to God, and He will speak to you. He will give you instructions to follow. When you follow, He will give you more. Here is an outline of the process.

1. Ask. Ask for help. Ask for insights and understanding. Ask for answers and solutions.
2. Listen. Listen for ideas that come with a spirit of truth and certainty. With practice you will learn to recognize answers from God.
3. Confirm. If you are uncertain about an answer, ask God about it. Ask if this answer is from Him. Ask if it is the answer you should follow. Ask if you understand it correctly. Listen for a confirmation. If you want to know what a confirmation feels like, ask God if He loves you.
4. Record. Record the answers you recieve in a journal so that you can review them and follow them.
5. Follow. Act on the answers you receive. This shows faith in God’s answers. If you don’t follow, you won’t get to the next lesson. Follow God’s direction so He can lead you.
6. Report. When you report your progress and activities to God in prayer, you will feel His love for you. He will encourage you, and instruct you, and help you sort out the details, and trouble shoot any obstacles.
7. Give thanks. God has given you so much. Receiving direction from God is a miracle many people don’t think you can have. Thank God for everything He gives you. You will feel His love as you count your blessings.

Pray Always. You can pray anytime and anywhere. When you can’t find a quiet corner to speak with God, He can hear the silent prayers of your heart. You can always have a prayer in your heart by shifting thoughts like “I can’t handle this any more!” to “Heavenly Father, how would you have me handle this?” Pray always, and God will be with you always.
