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.
