I have come to understand prayer to be a means whereby my will is aligned more closely to His. I have my own ideas and desires, but the process of seeking His will and being convicted by the Word of God shows me very clearly where I am out of alignment, even if and when surrender is not always easy.
Sadly, I agree.
Proverbs 10:12 (GW)
[SUP]12 [/SUP] Hate starts quarrels, but love covers every wrong.
Matthew 7:15-16 (GW)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] “Beware of false prophets. They come to you disguised as sheep,
but in their hearts they are vicious wolves.
[SUP]16 [/SUP] You will know them by what they produce. . . ."
2 Timothy 3:13 (GW)
[SUP]13 [/SUP] But evil people and phony preachers will go from bad to worse
as they mislead people and are themselves misled.

From the information you have given here, you don't know how to pray. We do not pray from the heart.
If we have grieved or quenched the Spirit, we need to rebound and regain the filling of the Holy Spirit. And we pray through the SPIRIT. Not our heart.
And we pray to the Father only. Not to Jesus or the Holy Spirit.
We pray to the Father
In Jesus Christs name
Through the power of the Holy Spirit.
From the information you have provided us, your prayer didn't even hit the ceiling.

1 John 2:9 (ESV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP] Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness.
1 John 3:15 (ESV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1 John 4:20 (ESV)
[SUP]20 [/SUP] If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Like I said before, "God is the author of Poetic Justice, therefore I suspect, if you are going to make it to heaven, God will place a Catholic on either side of you, in that Great Assembly of believers from all time. AND I personally want to see the look on your face, when our LORD SAYS, GREET ONE ANOTHER WITH A HOLY KISS."

There is nothing that enhances the prayer life of a believer like suffering. All the formalized prayers of religiousness goes right out the door when one is hurting. Coming to the Father in heaven with needs is a powerful motivator. It often turns to a time of thanksgiving for all the blessings received and a renewed confidence that as my heavenly Father has supplied in the past He will supply now and in the future.
