7 Ways to Pray With Persistence:

Journal your prayers. Be clear and specific about what you are praying for and why you are praying in this way.
Be consistent in your prayer life. Set aside a regular time each day to pray and stick to it as best you can. This will help you to establish a meaningful routine and powerful prayer life.
Pray Scripture. Focus on the outcome you desire, rather than the problem or obstacle you are facing. All throughout Scripture you will find examples of this type of prayer.
Consider God's will for your life. Remember that He has a plan for you and that His plan may not look exactly like your plan, but it's the best plan. God doesn't always take the easiest route.
Be patient and trust that God hears your prayer. It may take time for your prayers to be answered but have faith that they will be answered in the best way possible.
Use prayer to strengthen your relationship with God. Surrender your will, your desires, and your intentions to Him. Trust that He will guide you in a way that is best for you.
Always begin with gratitude and thanksgiving, even before your prayers are spoken. This will help you to cultivate a mindset of gratitude and a sense of the abundant life God wants for you.
