How can you make your prayers effective?
The Bible tells us 'Pray without ceasing'. Continual prayer to God is the only effective way. Even if your prayer isn't answered in the time you want it to be, it will be answered in God's time and not necessarily how you may have wanted it to be. But do not stop praying, prayer is an important part of your relationship with God.

Praying aloud so that others can hear you. While prayer itself is a personal thing, the echoed sentiment of a large group is very effective.
Is prayer magical thinking?
When a prayer gets answered it can be a very magical, heart warming, eye opening, experience. Prayer is just another word for communication. In prayer you communicate with God and God with you. If you do not hear from God when you pray, I suggest changing your religion, belief system, lifestyle, thoughts, and actions. _________________ Prayer is a very broad concept. Whether or not it is magical may have to do with what you expect as a result of prayer. The above suggests a concentration on prayer of petition, and the invitation to change things in order to make petitions more effective is a clear indication of magical thinking. There may be forms of prayer that avoid these pitfalls altogether.

What is meditational prayer?
Different religions understand meditation prayer in different ways. But meditation is silence and contemplation, and prayer is communicating with God. When you put them both together, meditation prayer is communicating with God not through hymns, chanting and actions, it is praying to God in silence. It is introspecting and becoming conscious of God's Divine presence within. God lives in the temple of our heart and meditation prayer is trying to talk to that God that is within, not the God that is in a temple or church or somewhere far away. Therefore meditation prayer is the most effective form of prayer. It is prayer that not only talks to God but also listens to God. Then we feel the presence of the Divine, we become conscious of the Divine within us.

Does God answer prayers to one who never has repented?
Answer: God will answer anyones prayer if it will better you or society. At least that is what I think, and im Catholic. Answer: I suspect that the prayer must be sincere to be effective. Just repeating words without thinking - as in an electric prayer wheel - won't have much effect (in my opinion). Where I live, in Bolivia, there are no electric prayer wheels, but there is the following strange custom: beggars at the cementary, who receive money to pray for the dead. They then repeat certain prayers quickly and monotonously.
