Prayer: You are doing it wrong
Philemon 1:22
New American Standard Bible (NASB)
22 At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.
-----
Paul was a prisoner at the time of his letter to Philemon. Do you see what happened there in this verse? It was not just a hope that Paul had that God would hear and answer Philemon's plea to God for Paul's release, but Paul had the EXPECTATION that God would hear and answer!
Faith.
Belief.
