Unspoken Prayer Requests

Have you ever been given an "unspoken" prayer request? Someone asks us to pray but they don't give us any specifics. I confess this kind of prayer request used to frustrate me. But Jesus set an example of prayer for us to follow. It is a prayer that is all encompassing.

Matthew 6:8-13

Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Prayer: Father as we pray for those whose needs we may not know or understand let us lift up those petitions trusting in your wisdom for the best possible outcome.
