What does a personal prayer request in the form of wishes involve?
A personal prayer request in the form of wishes is an individual request or concern that someone makes in their prayer. It often reflects deeply personal needs, hopes or challenges. Here are the main components of such a prayer request:
1. clarity of the request:
- Concrete request: The request should be clear and specific. It could be a specific request for help, guidance, healing, protection or blessing.
- Example: “I ask for healing for my sick mother” or “I ask for wisdom to make a difficult decision.”
2. intention and motivation:
- Inner attitude: the intention behind the prayer should be honest and sincere. It is about expressing your own wishes and needs in an honest dialog with God.
- Example: “I pray that I will find the strength to show patience and understanding.”
3. gratitude:
- Giving thanks for what has already been received: It is often helpful to include gratitude in prayer to give thanks for what has already been received and to show a positive attitude.
- Example: “Thank you for the many blessings in my life and for the support I have already received.”
4. humility and submission:
- Admission of limitations: Humility is emphasized in many religious traditions. This means acknowledging that you are not always in control and are open to God's will.
- Example: “I ask for your guidance, but I accept that your plan may be different than my desire.”
