*COMMENTARY*
Prayer is largely a request made for a particular need to be met. Lawyers usually make a prayer to the judge to grant a need.

Since, we must always pray, particularly, for God to meet our needs, we must pray rightly to have our prayers to be answered. There are conditions given as we go through the Bible, to get our prayers answered. One wishes to
discuss six of these from James 5 as keys that can guarantee an answer to prayer.

🗝️ Key Number One: Confess your faults to one another (James 5:16a)
🗝️ Key Number Two: Pray for one another (James 5:16b)
🗝️ Key Number Three: Pray effectually (James 5:16c)
🗝️ Key Number Four: Pray fervently (James 5:16d)
🗝️ Key Number Five: Pray earnestly (James 5:17b)
🗝️ Key Number Six: Be a righteous man like Elijah (James 5: 17-18).

Sin or fault is a hindrance to answered prayer. David said that if we harbour iniquity in our hearts, the Lord will not hear. God calls us to confess our sins to him in repentance (2 Chronicles 7:14). God also calls us to confess our sins to one another (James 5:16a). Jesus Christ (during his earthly ministry) taught that when we come to the place of prayer or worship and there remember that someone has something against you, leave your gift before the altar and go reconcile with the person (Matthew 5:23-24)

🎚 *CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*
Pray until something Happens (PUSH)

🙏🏿 *PRAYER*
I will never let you go unless you answer me oh God of my praise.
In the name of Yeshua the Christ.
Amen
