Praying with an unrepentant heart. The psalmist realized, "If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD would not have listened; but God has surely listened and heard my voice in prayer" (Psalm 66:18—19 NIV).

Praying with a lustful heart. "You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures" (James 4:3). God isn't fooled by prayers that are more about how we can fulfill our sinful desires than how we can honor Him and fulfill His purposes.
