The first step each and every Christian must do in order to
be more successful in their prayer room
with God the Father is to establish a good, one on one personal
relationship with Him. After that is done, there is now
another secret that you must learn to abide by - and that is
learning how to pray in the will of God for your life.

This one seems to be so easy to grasp, but many Christians
violate this basic common sense principle. This prayer secret
is making sure that your prayer request always lines up with
the will of God for your life.

I have a pet saying when it comes to this principle. The
saying is "Father always knows best." God always knows what is
best for you. You do not!

God’s knowledge and wisdom is perfect. Yours is not! God
knows what your future holds. You do not! Too many Christians
are constantly asking God for things that He does not really
want them to have. Here is the main Scripture verse where this
principle is clearly stated.

"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we
ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, He hears us. And if we know
that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the
petitions that we have asked of Him." (1 John 5:14)

Interpretation - God hears your prayer only if the prayer
request is according and in His will for you and your life. If
it is not, then the above verse implies that He will not hear
your prayer, and thus will not grant the prayer request.

This is where each Christian has to get a grip on any
specific prayer requests that they are presenting to God. If
God comes back to you letting you know that what you are asking
for is not in His will for you, then you have to let it go,
trust God that He knows best and move on.

When you approach God with a specific prayer request, I feel
like this is very serious business. You are asking God to bring
something to you that normally would not be coming your way.
You are asking God to supernaturally bring or allow this
request to come to you through Him.

So the first thing that you have to do before approaching
God on your specific prayer request is to make sure that your
request is in His will for you and your life.
