Is it wrong to pray very, very specifically?

I just got off the phone with Baby Man's foster mama, the girl I hit it off with right from the beginning.

I learned some new details of Baby Man's case which, of course, I can't disclose, but I am wondering:

Is it biblical to pray that if his biological parents' home is not the best place for him to be, for various reasons, that God allow Him to stay where he is?

And if it's ok, would you commit to praying that prayer with me for the next 30 days? 30 days is important.

Please comment that you will commit to praying at a certain time each day for Baby Man's future. Please only say you will if you really will.

He was my son once upon a time, and I'm longing so much for him to be my friend's FOREVER son.

Absolutely and I understand the need for specific prayer right now...add my request from Facebook to two preschoolers with various stages of a bug and me with Braxton hick contractions/ round ligament pain....prayers that the patience GOD gave me shines through are in high order.

It's never wrong to pray for the safety, well-being, and future faith of a child knowing those things are more likely in your friend's home. That outcome is exactly what God wants too.

It's just a matter of how HE wants to accomplish it...thy will be done, but you are free to pray however you are led.

I would be honored to place him on my prayer list, God will hear the cries of the people. Bless you.

God wants what is best for him, and coming to HIM and asking for that beautiful baby to be kept safe is anything but wrong.

I will absolutely pray for this every day. I say my prayers at night before I go to bed, 10:00 my time. I pray really specifically all the time, I don't know if it's wrong or not, but I really don't think in this case it can hurt. I said one already too.

We're praying for a very specific date as well. Nothing wrong with that. God actually answered a prayer 4 years ago to the date and almost hour that I had been praying for 2 months for.

I will be praying for Baby Man.

Of course!! I've been wondering about him, so I would be honored to pray at a specified time!! Tell me when and I will do it.

Well, "Prayer" is not a part of my day since I connect differently with the plains of existance BUT you can certainly count me in on the "Let all things in a little boy's life fall into a safe and caring balance at this time in his life."

Kelsey said...

I'm in. I love the idea.

It is totally good and fine to pray for a specific need. God wants us to take our wishes, troubles, and dreams to Him. Count me in!

Rach,
Yes, I will pray for Baby Man. I set my watch alarm for 9 a.m. I'll let you know if the time changes.
Love you, friend!

Michelle Farley said...

Absolutely!!!! My time will be 0500 CST!!

KathyM said...

Yes, 10 PM...done, so glad he is in a safe place. Every baby deserves it.

I know this has nothing to do with this post, but the post about Asher and his coat, my daughter and I have had the same discussion about responsibility and suffering the consequences. She is 10 and I will tell you, she is VERY responsible now, because of things like that. People need to mind their business :)
