1) Use your Bible in your prayer time
I have proved that Bible study with prayer is the best way of seeking God for hours in prayer, recorded Bible readings also have real value, and can provide valuable inspiration and aid to prayer while driving the car, but “watch and pray.”
2) Use the gift of tongues that the Holy Spirit has given to you
The gift of tongues is given primarily for prayer and worship, and if used diligently it will not only bring answers to prayer for ourselves and others, it will also build faith, love and spiritual strength in us. This gift enables us to praise and worship the Lord as He deserves, and gives us the ability to express the otherwise inexpressible love and devotion that we feel for Him. 1Cor 14v2,4,14,15,17, Acts 2v4,11, 10v44-46.

3) Do use your hymn book
In 1Cor 14v15, Paul said we should sing and pray with the understanding as well as in tongues. Eph 5v18-20, Col 3v15-17. We can do this by reading and singing hymns that express what we feel and desire. In Acts 16v25, the literal sense is, “praying, they sang hymns.” Use the great hymns of the Church; for they cover every need and circumstance, as well as every aspect of prayer and praise. Mature Christians need hymns of depth and substance, use this Divine treasury of Christian experience.
4) Use recorded sacred music
Some recorded sacred music has a great anointing; and it can be a great blessing to listen to them in our prayer times and our tasks around the home. Sacred music is a great blessing, particularly if we are experiencing spiritual conflict, or are in physical need. Elisha used music to carry him into the presence of God; he asked for a minstrel to play while he sought God in prayer; “and it came to pass, when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came upon him.” 2Kings 3v14-16. In both Bible study and prayer, I have proved the value and divinely ordained inspiration of sacred music, it has been more blessing to me than I can ever tell. Do use this heavenly means of grace.
5) Don't be tied to one posture, or one time of prayer
We know from Eph 3v14, that Paul knelt in prayer, but he did not limit his praying to kneeling and praying. Paul told us to “Rejoice always; never stop praying; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will in Christ Jesus for you.” 1Thess 5v16-18. Paul stresses the importance of a life of prayer, not just a time of prayer. Do not just kneel and pray, sit and pray, walk and pray, work and pray, and rest and relax and pray. We can practice and enjoy prayer at any time. “Sitting.” Acts 2v2. With “feet fast in stocks. Acts 16v24,25. “Lifting to heaven holy, loving and devoted hands, which are unstained by anger, disputes and dissensions.” 1Tim 2v8. The most important attitude in prayer, is the posture of love and dedication to God and others.
6) Follow the pattern for prayer that Jesus gave us in, "The Lord's prayer"
Jesus tells us the attitudes of heart and mind that will bring a knowledge of God, a fullness of the Spirit and answered prayer.

7) Raise your hands (Exodus 17v8-16 with 1Tim 2v1-8)
When Moses let his arms drop due to being weary, Amalek prevailed over Israel, but when his arms were then supported by Hur and Aaron until the going down of the sun, Israel then prevailed and Joshua defeated Amalek. When a believer raises their hands when praying (see also Ezra 9v5, Neh 8v6, Psalm 28v2, 63v4, 88v9, 119v48, 134v2, 141v2), this has the effect of releasing divine power into the heavenlies against Satan and the powers of darkness and shutting them down and de-energising them, making them powerless and so rendering the servants of Satan powerless (whom they energise).
Yahweh Shalom
