This is a question many Christians, as well as people with other beliefs, have asked. If prayer is first and foremost a conversation between you and God, then His promise to always listen may be the answer your heart needs most. What Happens When You Pray? Again this is a valid question. So how does this sound to you? Or utterly confusing? Jesus warned His disciples about trying to branch out and do things in their own strength: If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.
If you want your relationship with God to grow deeper over time, you need to communicate with Him regularly. This is an example of what Christians call spiritual warfare.

Thank you for your request! We can't leave our life to chance. We have to pray about everything all the time, not just when things go wrong. We have to pray over anything that concerns us, no matter how big—"With God nothing will be impossible" Luke —or how small—"The very hairs of your head are all numbered" Matt. Without reducing prayer to a formula in the book 7 Prayers That Will Change Your Life Forever , I have outlined seven basic types of prayers that can bring lasting peace and positive change to your life: confession, salvation, release, submission, praise, promise, and blessing.
But please don't be inhibited by these categories. They are just that: categories and suggestions. And don't be concerned about prayer talk or church talk. The Bible tells us the basic qualification for prayer: "He who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him" Heb. The more you pray, the more you will find to pray about, and the more you'll be led to pray for others. Don't allow discouragement over unanswered prayer to cause you to doubt that God has heard you.
If you have received Jesus and are praying in his name, God hears you, and something is happening whether you see it manifested in your life now or not. In fact, every time you pray, you're advancing God's purposes for you. Without prayer, the full purpose God has for you can't happen.
