Hi,
My question is about how we should pray.
It's like I know how to pray but, wonder how to effectively pray and have them answered?
I am in a situation, backed in a corner and need God right now.
I admit at times I doubt that prayer will solve my problems, but I have no other options or alternatives.
I have no one to turn to and my so call friends is no where to be found.

I just wonder is prayer is the answer or my therapist?
 
This is but my personal opinion. Your problem sounds immediate and bad. It is not the time to try to find the solutions on your own. If you have the advantage of someone who is trained in helping with how to cope with, and overcome, problems that is most definitely what I would do.

God helps those who help themselves, right?

Well, my belief is that while praying we should be submissive and should accept god's will.
As we cannot comprehend the mysterious ways of lord, but whatever happens (it may look too bad) can have a good outcome. All we need to do
is to trust in his name and ask forgiveness for our misdeeds.
A quote from my best friend: "Ask thy lord not to lift the burden, but to give
stronger shoulders to carry it"
Hope it helps .. :)

Use gratitude while you pray. It makes the prayer more powerful. Be grateful for whatever it is you want and it will manifest.
 
This question is way too broad to answer effectively. IMO and in my faith. Pray with conviction. Pray with humbleness. Pray with praise. Pray with understanding that God knows best, whether your request is given or not, it is best. Therapy would be my suggestion, in addition to prayer. I am Muslim, and since you didn't state your chosen faith, I cannot give you advice based on your path. I can say, that I believe my path is best and hope you consider it, but in lew of that I can offer no other comfort. If you believe in an Abrahamic Faith, Pray that God helps you while you do things to help yourself. If those things don't help, look for alternative ways to help yourself while submitting yourself to "His" will.
 
Simple, start a barbecue, open a crate of beer, offer first to God. God will be pleased. Remember Abel?
