And however, helps in prayer, first and foremost, a person's faith. How entrusts his life to God. The heart of the supplicant must be clean as a baby's. This condition to achieve an adult, steeped in sin, just harder. To strengthen a feeble prayer to the petition has been fulfilled, it is necessary to prepare yourself. Here are some guidelines from the experience of the Holy fathers, which will help to fulfill the request:

• First, we need to confess;
• Then Partake of the Blood and Body of Christ;
• At home, in addition to prayer, read the Akathist;
• To take the vow, which is then run.
• To give alms or to make a donation for a good cause;
• Not to judge, not to hold a grudge.

For the execution of a request, one needs to work hard. That a gift given is not appreciated, does not benefit, only harm comes. Therefore, desires are not always fulfilled.
