[God's word states that "the prayer of a righteous man availeth much." Like others, I don't know HOW my prayer does anything or WHAT it does, but according to God's Word, it "availeth much" so I choose to stand on God's Word and believe it. ]
In Revlations it talks about the prayers of the saints being like insense to the Lord, the prayers/praise come up and into the bowls under the throne, and are like incense. Whn he smells the incense Jesus is Glorified and when Jesus is Glorified the Father is Gloryfied. Then because the Holy Spirit is indwelling individual christians we are glorified, which means the presence of GOd comes down from heaven and is amongst us.
There are different ways of praying. I know if I thank and praise Him he is blessed my words and my heart response. He is a God who loves to be worshiped thanked and adored/loved. If all I do is ask for things because he is my Father he will listen. Sometimes thats all I do depending on what season I am in. Sometimes whn Im low all I do is help type prayers. When the season is better I pray more. Thats just me. I have learned to accpet me and who I am I try not to feel guilty that I do not pray for hrs at a time. There are times and seasons for intercession and warfare, fasting and declaring and proclaiming. I do think the kind of prayers he loves are the ones where you, pray, then stand and believe in faith. Prayers of agreement as well according to math 18v19,20.
I dont think begging works. I tried. So do not regard your prayer as insignificant. After all it is communing with GOd. Intimacy. Just keep knocking, keep seeking until you find him.
