Pray it like you mean it

"When you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think they will be heard for their many words" - Matthew 6:7

"Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it" - Luke 11:28

We can always be sure that God hears us. But do we always hear Him? When we pray, do we mean what we prayed? Do we truly believe and act in God's way??? Or do we just memorize Our Father, Hail Mar and Glory Be and pray mechanically?

I have to improve on this too...! I learned to personalize my prayers, make it like talking to a "friend". Then I pray the standard prayers, slowly and mean what I say.

Most importantly, you don't just pray for things to happen, we are to hear Him, follow His way - be a good person and do good deeds.

Be patience and trust Him, believe that for whatever we praying for, God has promised us to be given to us very soon! ^^
