Some steps that can be taken to receive answers in ours prayers

1) Maintain a pure heart: The fountain of life is in our heart, it is the center of our body. From it comes the bad and good feelings, resentments, envy, etc. How can God answer us, if our heart is occupied with feelings that do not please Him? In this case the first thing, beyond believing in God, is to ask Him to clean us and make of us a clean cup. It is necessary to have a broken heart, molded, humiliated and entirely reconstructed, we have to be ready to be molded by God. For example in the case of the wife who has the desire of her husband to be changed by God, thus the first person who should have a new heart is her- the wife.
2) Honestly: We have to be honest with God, and it is necessary that we talk with Him about our yearnings, anxieties, desires and to be honest in relation to what we want. Beginning a sincere dialogue, opening the door of our life, so God can enter, because nothing better exists than Him. Because He knows us. We can to hide something from anyone, other than Him. The word of God show us that He searches our heart...
3) Leave the control in the hands of God: Whatever the situation may be, it is necessary that our desire is in according to the desire God. And He will be able control our lives, we should determine what is it that we want through the our faith allied with our attitudes. But it is necessary to leave the control in the hands of God, not ours.
4) Don’t take attitudes that will stop the action of God: In other words wait for the action of God. Our attitudes many times prevents the action of God, and in this moment we stop trusting fully in the power of prayer, annulling the the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. That is why it is necessary to have a balance. And know exactly when it is time to act and not hinder what we want.
5) We should trust completely that He has the power: We should trust in Him, because He has the power to transform any situation. As we talked in previous articles, it isn’t easy. I myself, several times have impeded the action of God. Because there are moments we think we are trusting Him very much and when the difficult times come and we are tested, we let go of our confidence and look solely at the problem and it is at this moment that we fail.
If you think that your problem is big, it the actual problem that is saying: your God is small. But if you see your problem as being small, then you see that your God is big, and so much bigger than your problem.
