1. Identify what you need to pray about.
Before you can receive answers to your prayers, You need to identify what you pray about or what you’re are believing God for in prayer. If you pray for nothing in particular, that is what you’ll get, nothing. You won’t even be able to determine whether or not when God answers your prayer because you don’t know what you want.

2. Research scriptures to find out what God’s word saying concerning  that your need.
To get your prayer answered, your needs should have a scripture backing it. After you have identified what you
want, it is time to search the scriptures to find out what God’s word says about your situation or need.

3. Write down what the word of God has to say about it and personalise it
And then when you have found out what His word says about your situation, it is now time to write down every scripture that says something about your situation or need. Personalise what the word of God has to say and replace the pronouns or names with yours.

5. Be specific in your prayer
Praying without focus is praying without expecting an answer. When you pray, be specific. Don’t pray without focus but pray concerning the need or situation you have identified. For example, when you pray to God for breakthrough in career or business, you have to be specific. When you’re specific in prayer, it will help you know when God answers your prayer.

6. Believe the word of God absolutely by faith.

Hoping that God will answer your
prayer isn’t faith, but rather faith is
knowing for sure that God has answered your prayers. Trust that God has answered for your prayers and thank Him for it as you wait for its manifestation. Receive whatever
you have prayed for and by faith, see it accomplished.

7. Listen to God after you’ve prayed
Don’t pray and just leave the presence of God without listening to what He has to say. Prayer is communication with God, therefore, listen to what the Spirit of God ministers to you in prayer. Listen and act on whatever He tells you to do. He may ask you to sow a seed, reach out to someone or something else. Obey what He asks you to do and follow whatever guidance He gives you.

8. Make God’s will the reason for your existence.
It is praying and living in God’s will that gives you answered to your prayer.
There are two categories of Christians: those who make their plans and bring them to God for approval, those who go to God to get His plan to live by it. And those who live by God’s plan.
Those who lives by God’s plan do not struggle in life. So, to enjoy answers to your prayers, you are to pray and live according to God’s will.
