Prayer should be based on FACTS. F=Faith; A=Adoration; C=Confession; T=Thanksgiving; S=Supplications.
Sometimes we pray about all those things---at other times only some. But those are the things Jesus has commanded us to pray about. He will honor proper praying. We are to pray believing that God will hear us and answer in His way in His time. Do you have God’s ear?
It’s not the arithmetic of our prayers, how many they are;
Nor the rhetoric of our prayers, how eloquent they may be;
Nor the geometry of our prayers, how long they be;
Nor the logic of our prayers, how argumentative they may be;
Nor the method of our prayers, how orderly they may be:
It is fervency of spirit which availeth much.
