Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground... Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
EPHESIANS 6:13,17,18
The prayer of the saint enjoys perfect communion with the Lord. In this journey to sainthood, the Lord teaches his plan and breaks what was your old plan. Through this he teaches you how to pray and hear his voice so that you can be certain to always be doing his will - as Jesus.
In such learning, never allow yourself to be the God of your prayer. People enjoy directional prayers for fixes to things the Lord requires not to fix - thus creating angst in the person. Come to the Lord as your father - bow to him and ask for forgiveness - ask him to take you and let his will be done in you in Jesus name.
Make yourself right with God - then pray without ceasing. The prayers of a righteous person - a person in right standing with God - are powerful and effective. The prayers in the spirit of God are given and made by God himself through The Holy Spirit. Let the Lord finish his work in you and you will heal and teach and love as Christ himself. You will be one with Christ Jesus as Jesus is with our father.
It is one thing to wrestle with God and another to wrestle with things before God. Never wrestle with God. Always wrestle with matters before God to work them out with God. The God of life and the creator of the heavens and earth designed you for communion with him - to be guided by him - and to rely on him. God is love and he loves you and he asks you to come unto him and have faith in him that his love is perfect for you.
