God knows best for others as well.  We can't know what to ask for others 
because we don't know the fullness of their circumstances.  I would never 
want to ask for something which might conflict with Gods perfect will.  Gods 
will  is perfect.  My human mind isn't.  I will leave that sort of prayer to 
others like dear Phil who might be better able to do such things than I . 
All will come right in the fullness of time I feel sure.  God knows best, I 
don't.
