ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock, and it will be opened to you.
for everyone who asks receives, and whoever seeks finds, and whoever knocks, the door will be opened to him.

Yeah that's a comforting sentiment until it doesn't prove out in actual lived experience.
The way the verse is taught, since it's obviously false on its face, is more like:
"For everyone who asks correctly (according to me) receives, whoever seeks hard and often enough enough (according to me) finds, and whoever knocks just so (according to me) the door will be opened to him."
Through Jesus, you can find all the answers and all the strength of all the promises that God gives, like get saved from being lost to God and finding the plan God has for your life right on to even to world problems like to stop a rebellion or stop a nuclear exchange that would destroy the earth ... God can do it all

the power of prayer also depends on your soul, a person who commits sins or drinks alcohol, etc., is far from God, then prayer is less effective, .. stronger prayer is also those who abstain from food or generally feel bad

Well if that were true then feeling bad about unanswered prayer should cause it to be answered, lol. Plus the prayers of the horribly impoverished and always hungry would be answered.

Jesus drank alcohol. Do you believe that Jesus was far from God? And everyone commits sins, so by your argument everyone is far from God, including yourself.
