When you ask God, when you pray according to His will, our prayers become acceptable. When you ask your parents for things according to their will, they become delighted and are more likely to oblige. If you ask your boss according to his will, you are more likely to get your request granted. So a great key to making effective prayers is asking according to God’s will. This verse is from 1 John 5:14. Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. We can use this key and have a confident and fulfilling prayer life. 

Brief background: We can have a family member, a relative, or a friend on the deathbed. If this person is a believer of Jesus Christ, we can be certain to meet them beyond our life on earth. As, heaven is the eternal destination, of anyone who is in Christ.

But if this loving family member, relative, or friend does not believe in Jesus Christ as his/her Lord and Saviour, the matter is totally different. The passing away of this person can mean totally losing this person.

Hence we should pray for his/her salvation. This is the most precious matter that can happen to this person. The gift of eternal life is the only thing that this person can receive.
