Jesus says abiding is the key to successful praying. If you abide in me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. Abiding, then is simply living a life of faith and obedience in the fullness for the Holy Spirit, surrendered to the Lordship for Christ with no unconfessed sin, and being totally available to God. If you expect answers to your prayers, you must ask. When you ask you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
