How should I pray?

1.      In Jesus' Name (JOH 16:26; 14:6)
2.      In agreement (MAT 18:9)
3.      In righteousness (JAM 5:16)
4.      With faith (MAT 21:22; JAM 1:5-8; 5:15)
5.      With a forgiving attitude (MAR 11:25-26)
6.      With tears (1SA 1:10; 2CH 32:20; HEB 5:7)
7.      With thanksgiving (DAN 6:10; PHI 4:6)
8.      With confession (DAN 9:4)
9.      With humility (LUK 18:10-14)
10.   With praise (ACT 16:25)
11.   With the Holy Spirit (1CO 14:15; ROM 8:26; JUD 1:20)
12.   With fasting (MAT 17:21; ACT 10:30; 13:3; 14:23; NEH 1:4)
13.   Fervently (zealously) (JAM 5:16)
14.   Earnestly (with determination) (JAM 5:17)
15.   Continuously (ROM 12:12)
16.   Persistently (LUK 11:5-13; 18:1-8) 
17.   And more than once!  Jesus prayed twice for a blind man to be healed and three times for His Father's will to be done (MAR 8:22-25; MAT 26:44).  Men ought always to pray, and not to faint (LUK 18:1).
