DOES YHVH ALWAYS ANSWER PRAYER?
James 5:13-18: "Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." 1 John 5:14-15: "We can be confident that He will listen to us whenever we ask Him for anything in line with His will." --- We can be confident of YHVH’s response to our prayer when we submit first to His will. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10: "Three different times I begged the Lord to take it away. Each time he said '... My power works best in your weakness.'” --- Sometimes like Paul, we will find that YHVH answers prayer by giving us not what we ask for but something better. Exodus 14:15: "Then the Lord said to Moses, 'Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the people to get moving!'” --- Our prayer must be accompanied by a willingness to obey with our actions.

Isaiah 1:16-20: "Wash yourselves and be clean!" --- All our communication with YHVH must begin with confession. Philippians 4:6-7: "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything." --- yhvh invites us to bring all our needs to him in prayer.
DOES THE BIBLE TEACH A “RIGHT WAY” TO PRAY?
Nehemiah 1:4-11: "For days I mourned, fasted and prayed to the God of heaven." --- Throughout the Bible effective prayer includes elements of adoration, confession and commitment, as well as requests. Matthew 6:5-13: "Pray like this" --- Yeshua taught His disciples that prayer is an intimate relationship with the Father that includes a dependency for daily needs, commitment to obedience and forgiveness of sin. Luke 18:1-8: "One day Jesus told His disciples a story to illustrate their need for constant prayer and to show them that they must never give up." --- Prayer is to be consistent and persistent. Nehemiah 2:4: "With a prayer to the God of heaven." --- Prayer can be spontaneous.
