Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they shoud be helped. In that case, we are asking God to do it our way.
~Bill W.
It's good and important to pray for our needs and the needs of others. It's not only OK but encouraged that we ask our Heavenly Daddy for help and to meet our needs. We're even told to ask for our desires, our wants. And it's part of loving our neighbor as ourself to be concerned for them and pray for them. But as Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, it's crucial that we keep our will submitted to God's and leave the answer and the how and when of it to Him. His way is not our way, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. But they are always best.
