How to pray:

In the name of Jesus Christ: Jesus has given Christians the authority of his name. There is no other name higher than Jesus, and Jesus tells us to pray in His name (John 16:23-24).
With a repentant heart: Acts 8:22; Psalm 51:1-2
With praise: Most of Psalms contains many examples of praise in a prayer context; Praising God is a powerful weapon in spiritual warfare
With confession and thanksgiving: Philippians 4:6-7; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 , 1 Timothy 2:1
With faith and expectancy: Matthew 17:20; Luke 17:6 – Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountain!
With humility and earnestness: Supplication (Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 4:12)
Persistently: Jesus illustrates this in his parable about the man knocking at his friend’s door late at night. The friend gets up and answers the door because of the man’s persistence (Luke 11:5-10). That is how we are to pray to God! Jesus also emphasizes this concept in the parable of the persistent widow (Luke 18:1-8).
