Jn 15 5) I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart fomr me you can do nothing. 16) You did not choose me, but I chose you to go and bear fruit…. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
Jn 15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be given to you.Mk 14:36 [Prayer in Gethsemane] “Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
John 15:5 I am the vine, you are the branches. If a man remains in me, and I in him, he will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.
Rom 8:26 ~ The [Holy] Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray; but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

2. Place: being alone can be helpful; a scheduled time.
