What will hinder prayer?

Arrogance
He does not answer when men cry out because of the arrogance of the wicked. Job 35:12
Cherishing sin / Sin
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened Psalm 66:18
Disobedience / Rebellion / hardening of heart toward God
Then the LORD said to me, "There is a conspiracy among the people of Judah and those who live in Jerusalem. They have returned to the sins of their forefathers, who refused to listen to my words. They have followed other gods to serve them. Both the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their forefathers. Therefore this is what the LORD says: `I will bring on them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they cry out to me, I will not listen to them. Jeremiah 11:9-11
One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination.
Proverbs 28:9 NKJV

Failure to forgive others
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. Mark 11:24-25

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Luke 6:36-38
Also see: (Matthew 6:14; Ephesians 4:32, Colossians 3:13)
Lack of faith
But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. James 1:6
Mistreatment of spouse
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
1 Peter 3:7
Out of God's will
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14
Unconfessed sin
But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. Isaiah 59:2
Wrong motives
When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. James 4:3
