I think James is still talking about praying for wisdom in particular here, but with prayer, in general, I thought about some of the people who I prayer for daily or monthly or some whom maybe I have forgotten and only pray for every so often--the people I don't live around and may never see face-to-face again. There are a lot of unbelievers whom I have met in different places. And there are some people whom I am concerned about, even in my own family, but I hope and pray that they have/will have that seed of faith. Only God knows their hearts. Do you girls have people like this, who don't seem to have faith working in them--at least from what you can see--and you begin to wonder if God will ever pull them out? I know I have been guilty at times of praying for them in a half-believing way, not knowing if it is God's will that they be saved, because it doesn't seem to have happened in the years that I have prayed. It IS God's will that they be saved. I need to petition God with a heart that believes he can and will do this. Otherwise, I am like that ever-moving, unstable wave.
