My question for Jesus has always been, How do I do this:

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11:24)

Now the first thing you need to see from this scripture is that Jesus is guaranteeing that we can receive what we ask for when we pray. This is the normal way that prayer is presented in the Bible, i.e. as a sure thing. That may seem a little strange to us who have been raised on a steady diet of religious rationalizations for unanswered prayer but it is, nevertheless, the case. In the Bible answered prayer is  a certainty. No mealy mouth, namby pamby, lets leave some loopholes just in case, promises for God. No, He leaves that to the theologians,when God talks about prayer He guarantees results.
