As you pray, understand that you have to believe that you will receive whatever you are asking for because we are told to Ask in faith, without doubting, for the person who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. Let not that person suppose that they will receive anything from the Lord because they are doubleminded man and unstable in all their ways. (James 1:6-8)
If you are praying for your family to be restored, you have to see your marital problems resolving and the wayward child coming back home. If you are praying for a financial breakthrough, you have to see yourself receiving the appointment letter and cashing the cheque. See it, pray believing that the Lord can bring it to pass and then thank Him as you live expecting to receive it.
Ask in faith.
Since Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1), asking in faith entails being able to see yourself with your mind’s eye receiving the things that you are asking the Lord to give you. If you are asking for healing, you have to see the laboratory tests returning as normal, the cancerous mass becoming undetectable and the doctors telling you that you have been cured.
