I am admittedly a bad prayer. I am somewhat notorious for responding poorly when people say things like, "Will you please pray for ..." with a honest response of "I will try". I do have a practice of praying AT THAT MOMENT when people ask for prayer but I know my faults and one is remembering to pray for people and their things at a later time. But I also fail to pray for "my things". I am pretty good at thanking God but asking God is a challenge sometimes. Thankfully, God is better than me at everything, including going beyond what I ask for and even beyond what I fail to ask for.
Lord, thank You for answering my prayers but for also taking care of me when I fail to even ask.
