The effectiveness of a prayer is measured by God's response to that request. Therefore it is required that our cry to him be specific, priority and according to the word that God has established for us.
If a prayer is full of vain repetitions, you will hardly have any response from God, because what must be a fragrant smell for God becomes a torment to anyone's ears.
I explain to him if his son asks him to eat something and instead of asking for food directly, he starts telling him that in order to survive, they need to eat. It is customary for the man to eat three times a day and if there is a lack of food, he would not the strength to continue, I assure you that you would get tired of hearing so much talk and would not be sure if your child is the one who needs the food or is someone else.
For everyone who asks, receives, and he who seeks finds; and to the one who calls, it will be opened to him. What father of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if fish, instead of fish, will give you a snake? Luke 11: 10-11
It also happens when we go before the Lord to make a request, God would wonder what this son of mine wants, he has adorned the request so much, that the prayer lost the form and direction.
So every time you go before the presence of the Lord to make a request, whether in your secret place, in the church, or anywhere, be specific and effective and sure you will have the answer, as long as the request is in agreement to his word.
You must remember that praying to the Lord is like talking to your father, mother, brother, friend and a conversation there is a speaker and a listener who constantly exchange their roles in order to understand each other and to be clear about their exposure (leave space in your intimate prayer to listen). That is why his conversation with God must be effective, I dedicated the time to let him know what he wants and he will tell you or he will know in what way he will give it to him.
Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective prayer of the righteous can do much. Santiago 5:16
GOD bless you greatly.
