Our Lord revealed to me two conditions necessary for prayer. One is a right attitude. A right attitude prays for God's will to be done, for His glory. The other necessity is a complete trust in God.
Our trust, however, is often incomplete because we doubt God hears us.... I've experienced this myself. Suddenly the Lord brought this truth to my mind. "I'm the ground of your praying. I put your yearnings in your heart. It's my will you should pray for them, and if you pray, why wouldn't you have what you prayed for?"
(Julian of Norwich, Revelations, quoted in Incandescence)
