Unto General Guidelines

Consider with me that it is possible to offer the general guidelines of cooking, gardening, and parenting yet it takes experimenting with personal applications to gain desirable results. I suggest that the same is true of prayer. There are general guidelines that we can learn from one another and pass along. But that is only the beginning of making it a personal expression when in prayer.

I hear prayer requests for those that are sick or going in for surgery. And there are prayer requests for those seeking employment, having a baby, traveling, etc. What general guidelines could serve as prompts, sparks, and springboards unto better prayers in those cases? Also what about grief, divorce, addictions, guidance, protection, school exams, etc.    What about issues with allergies, doubts, fears, reconciliation, romance, prodigals, adoption, depression, trouble sleeping, etc. I am not in any rush to tackle these matters. But in order to best serve others in the long term, I believe God is guiding me to lead many to summarize some simple guidelines for such matters. And it seems that the best way to facilitate such collaboration would be by using a wiki. This is part of the long-term vision to keep me oriented and motivated.
