Ephesians 6:18-20 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit… 1. Then, pray faithfully, believing that God can and will answer you, though not, perhaps, just as you expect.

Next, pray persistently; don't be disheartened because God does not answer at once. 3. Next, pray submissively, striving to give up your will to God's will. 4. Next, pray simply.
