• Backup the petition using verses like Mark 11:24, Mathew 18:19.
• Look through the scriptures to find out verses, which gives you the right to ask and to have it granted.

• Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. - Mark 11:24
• The emphasis here is on believing. When you pray your petition, you should pray it as a present possession, as if you already possessed it.
• For without faith it is impossible to please him - Heb. 11:6

Start by worshipping him.

Focusing on God as the object of your worship becoming more and more conscious of Him

• First of all, you may have a bad attitude. You may not have a thankful heart. You need to be kind and gracious.
• The story of the 10 lepers is the best example for this.(Luke 17: 12 - 19) Although all of the lepers were healed, only the one that came back and was grateful was made whole.
• Instead of praying for something, try praying  for the people who have the authority over those things. (try praying for the bank authorities to loan you some money, instead of praying that you need some money)

• Sit down and write out your petition.
• Then search the Scriptures to make sure that your request is in line with His will for you. Include those Scriptures in your petition. As you do this, you will find that your faith is rising. Your hope will turn to faith as you come to know what God's Word has to say about your situation.
• Address it to the court of justice, which is judged by our Father up in Heaven.
• Jesus is our advocate who is mediating for us before the Supreme Justice.
• The various verses are the various legal clauses that demand us our rights as the sheep of his flock.
