Love for God

Love for God is another prerequisite for successful prayers. We ought to be grateful to Him for what He has done for us without our asking, before we ask Him for further boons. We must love and respect His commandments and strictly follow them. We bow down a thousand times before Him but we do not, unfortunately, take His words seriously. Little do we realize that He is not apart from His words.

If ye love me, keep my commandments.

St John 14:15

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

St John 15:7

Delight yourself also in the Lord; and He shall give the desires of thine heart.

Psalm 37:4
