This thread is for all to share scripture in what can hinder your prayers.

1 Peter 3:7Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

1 Peter 3:11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.
 
Unrepentant sin (Psalm 66:18)


Any self-righteousness - he prayed to himself (not to God) - Luke 18:11


Not asking in faith, but doing so in doubt (James 1:3)
'neither be ye of a doubtful mind' (Luke 12:29)
Help, thou mine unbelief, O, Lord (Mark 9:24)


Hedonistic motives (James 4:3)


Ignoring God's will (1 John 3:22; 5:14)
