Tell God your struggles with prayer and ask him for help. Get on your knees and take your struggles to the master himself, he will recognize your earnest desire and help you through the process. Then Jesus made a circuit of all the towns and villages. He taught in their meeting places, reported kingdom news, and healed their diseased bodies, healed their bruised and hurt lives. When he looked out over the crowds, his heart broke. So confused and aimless they were, like sheep with no shepherd. “What a huge harvest!” he said to his disciples. “How few workers! On your knees and pray for harvest hands!” Do you have a tip not included above? I would love to hear from you how as Christians we can pray with confidence.This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. No mincing words there. We need to drop the doubting of what we’re doing when we kneel before the God of all creation. Quit questioning the effectiveness of presenting our requests to Him. Earnestly seek His will for your life, His wisdom for your mind, and His love to fill your heart. He delights in answering you. He is all about His glory. You can fully trust Him with your prayers, as you also trust the truth of His character, purposes, and promises. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.”—1:6–8 (NIV)

God has literally made available to you His vast reservoir of power, wisdom, love and grace, if only you are willing to believe him, to trust and obey Him.

We need 'harvest hands' to pray with us. Psalms 34:15, NIV The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry; This is an interesting dynamic, really. Most of the time, we have no trouble accepting that the Bible is true—that it’s God-breathed, that it’s the Word of Life. Then we turn around and question what the Bible says about prayer. We might not see it that way, yet that’s what happens when we doubt the strength or usefulness of our prayer life.

Strong's 3954: From pas and a derivative of rheo; all out-spokenness, i.e. Frankness, bluntness, publicity; by implication, assurance. When we’re confident during prayer, we’ll have the faith to pray for God’s best to happen, not just for what we want to happen. So, our prayers won’t be constrained by our limited perspective. By praying confidently, we’ll find ourselves praying for God’s will to be done instead of trying to convince God to follow our own plans. Those pure motives, fueled by confidence that we can trust God to do what’s best for us, welcome God to intervene powerfully in our lives.
