Here is an example of how most people pray most of the time, Don't deny it,  and I am sure you have used this form as well:

"Dear God,Give me xyz" 

Did you build up to this request with gratitude and praise? No, you made this petition in a moment of desperation, sounding like an egotistical child. Certainly there are ways to make your prayers more effective, that will "lift it higher."

 So lets build a prayer in a way that it stands a better chance to be  answered, in the way the saints and sages devised prayers.

First recognizing God as the one from whom all things come, and praising God.

"Blessed be the Lord who bestows riches in heaven and on earth.

The source of all supply. The force of all creation.

Let us forever praise your greatness and glory.

Let us forever recognize your grace and majesty.

For the Lord is a sun that shines forth present and future splendor,

Bountiful gifts, continuous blessings, enduring wealth.

For the Lord is an infinite fountain, the cause of all good things, and creates all beauty,

In everlasting abundance with perfect timing."

We start to talk about God's attributes,  especially having to do with bestowing abundance, because although we have not yet asked for anything, we start to foreshadow, as if starting to negociate with God by reminding him of previous examples of his greatness in bestowing prosperity.

"Through miracles of grace He causes immediate prosperity.

Through miracles of compassion He causes the needy to become wealthy.

Through miracles of love He grants joy and satisfaction.

For all this, we commit our hearts to the Lord, trust in Him, place our hope in Him all day long."

Now we can start to shift into our petition, what we are asking for, to turn the dialog from objective to subjective. 

By our steadfast faith let the His grace be magnified.

By our gratitude let the His continous blessings fill our hearts.

So far, we have be praying as a "we", but now we shall change to "me" to make it even more personal, as if to say "Now that I have your attention, God,, please look specifically at my case."

"My creator, my rock, my salvation, be pleased to direct your compassion to my cause.

Turn your light towards me, oh hearer of prayers.

Grant me favor, wealth, satisfaction, contentment.

Surround me with your river of abundance and joy.

Now and in all the years to come."

And as we started with praising God, we shall end with praise, as well as a commitment to remember God, and glorify his name.

By your infinite kindness and by the supreme power of your Holy name

May my mind and heart set soley on Your goodness.

And may my lips praise You forever,

Amen.

Here is a long and in depth prayer, for listening and putting your emotional state towards God:
