3 reasons you might be getting discouraged with praying 
• Praying for ... A Pure Heart.

3 reasons you might be getting discouraged with praying.  
1. You haven't received because its not time, you are not ready yet. Be patient. Pray with thanksgiving. It allows you to see God's works in your life and be faithful in his capabilities and power. You can also appreciate the ways in which he prepares you to receive.

2. God sent the same gift by regular post, in a brown envelope. You threw it on the side because you are still waiting for the fed ex courier and a Gucci wrapper. See beyond the wrapping.  

3. Your prayer didn't make it to Heaven. Sin separates us from God. Repent your sins and forgive those that have wronged you. Do you see the cost of your anger? Now your prayers cant even make it to Heaven because you carry all this darkness in your heart. Leave the vindication to God. Strive to live righteously and forgive).

Praying for A Pure Heart
• "Save me, Oh God, by your name. Have mercy on me according to your unfailing love. Create in me a pure heart oh God, and renew the steadfast Spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. But restore to me the joy of your salvation ad grant me a willing Spirit to sustain me."
