Prayer is a unique word that only means carrying on a conversation with God. When you pray, it is assumed that God is listening to your prayer. But, since He isn’t standing there where you can see you have His attention, it takes a special faith that, when you pray, you aren’t wasting you time and effort. Prayer is vital, powerful, results producing, and life changing. If you don’t pray and ask God for those things you would like to have from Him, He won’t give them to you. God waits until you ask Him; that is you expressing your desires to Him. It is an invitation that God requires of you.

There are seven mandatory requirements that God has that regulate whether or not He answers your prayers positively. If you have prayed and asked Him for things and didn’t get them, there were more than likely one or more of those mandatory requirements that you didn’t meet. Since God gave you a free will, these mandatory requirement make sure you don’t get turned into a robot or a slave. Since God made you in His own image, these mandatory requirements help you excel in your spiritual growth as a child of God.

Since you are now a child of God, a member of His family, and a citizen of His eternal Kingdom, these madatory requirements help you get ready to live with your heavenly Father with the other members of His family, as you spend eternity in His eternal Kingdom. Since God is training you and getting you ready for all the opportunities He will be giving you, your prayers have vital possiblilities of getting you supernatural, God-sized things. But, that is provided that you know how to pray.
