The Bible tells us to pray often, giving God thanks for the things that we have and making requests for the things we need. Do it often!
(Ever heard the expression "The squeaky wheel gets the grease"? It applies in prayer too!)

You can pray as much as you like, but perhaps you should 'take a hint' if your prayers are going unanswered. Not trying to be rude, or anything, but sometimes what we WANT is not what is best for us, nor within the divine plan for us. To pray for such things seems a unnecessary use of time and energy.

You can pray for something as many times as you want. Some people pray for the same thing every day. It doesn't mean that if you DO pray a lot that it will make it happen or even happen faster. If it's God's will, then it will happen. Try saying that in your prayer - "Lord, if it is Your will,..."
~God Bless!

perfect to three quantity. Like in case you're praying to win the lottery then no. i think that those that ask this, abuse prayer, as a results of fact it truly is the only concern they ask of him. in case you're unfavorable and pray to win the lottery than I understand, yet those that do it for selfishness is incorrect. in case you're praying for stable well-being, assisting those in want, putting an end to conflict, (issues we ought to continuously pray for), than ask away. usually going on I pray to God to grant my relatives and myself yet another day of existence, and if i'm nevertheless alive (which i'm, "thank you God") that is as a results of fact he's spoke back my prayer. Telling God you like him on a daily basis is seen praying for the reason which you're chatting with him.

Well, if you mean like the Roman Catholics do, no. They don't tend to pay much attention to what Jesus said when it comes to things like that.
But if you remember what you pray about, you don't have to ask Him again. But if you do, I think that He would understand. Remember, He knows you, and if He wants you to change something about yourself, then He will let you know. He IS God after all!

No "we're to pray without ceasing." Remember the story of the woman pestering the "unjust judge." He satisfied her request just to get her to keep quiet!! Also, "he who asks not has not."

pray often. Persistence is rewarded. As long as the prayer is written within your heart, and not some superficial desire.

No reason to pray at all, there's nothing there to answer them.

I see no point in praying... when the thing you pray to doesnt respond, prove himself, give any recognition, or even answer your prayers...
