"But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord." James 1:6-7
So...along with believing...having FAITH....you must also NOT doubt. How easy is that? Well...we are not use to not doubting. Most of us aren't anyway.
We ( I am talking in generalities not specifics ) like to weigh all the angles. We like to add to our faith...."well what if it doesn't work"....LOL. If we saw that as an insult to God it may help reduced the amount of doubt that we generally like to add to our prayers.
This is the way I believe and pray: If I am NOT going to fully believe for something why waste my time? If I plan to add doubt to the mixture why waste God's time?
Does that help?
So when you pray....believe! Have FAITH....AND DO NOT add doubt!
We are suppose to be as (AS) little children..with their child like faith ...when we pray. Think about a little child asking daddy for a bike for Christmas. Any father that can afford (and God is a big God and He CAN afford) to be able to buy his child a bike for Christmas or other event...birthday, etc. WILL buy his child a bike for Christmas.
God is the same way. His is real and His love and words are real. He just wants our faith. He LOVE our faith. Without faith it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.
But all things are POSSIBLE to those who believe.
