I have a hard time praying for a specific outcome - like I'm telling God what to do in a particular situation. Instead, I try to pray for God to be with people, during their suffering, not to relieve them from it. This is a hangup I got from listening to conservative talk radio. I try not to torture myself that way anymore.
Praying to accept His will is hard... I think so often we pray wanting something but still knowing that it's out of our hands, and He knows what is best.
