Scriptures Pertaining to Prayer

I checked out all the scriptures pertaining to prayer in the scriptures and learned the following things. We should (1 Nephi 18:3) pray oft; (2 Nephi 4:24) wax bold in mighty prayer; (2 Nephi 32:8) be taught by the Spirit how to pray; (2 Nephi 32:9) pray always and not faint; (Omni 1:26) continue in fasting and prayer; (Alma 26:22) pray without ceasing; (Alma 34:27) have our hearts drawn out in prayer continually; (Alma 36:13) pray in private; (Alma 45:1) pray to give thanks; (3 Nephi 12:44) pray for our enemies; (3 Nephi 17:15) pray always; (3 Nephi 18:16) follow Jesus' example; (3 Nephi 18:21) pray in our families; (3 Nephi 19:24) pray without multiplying words; (3 Nephi 20:1) continue to pray in our heart; (3 Nephi 27:1) unite in prayer with others; (Moroni 7:6, 9, 48) pray with real intent and with all the energy of heart; (Moroni 8:26) pray with diligence; (Isaiah 56:7) be joyful in prayer; (D&C 136:28) praise; (Matt 21:22) be believing; (1 Cor 14:15) pray with Spirit and understanding; (Jas 4:3) pray not amiss, to consume it upon our lust; (D&C 19:28) pray vocally.

We are promised certain things: (Rom 8:26) We don't know what to pray for, but the Spirit intercedes with groanings that cannot be uttered; (Luke 11:1) the Lord will teach us to pray; (2 Nephi 26:15) the prayer of the faithful will be heard.
