Predestined prayer.

Philemon 1:22 NRSV

One thing more—prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be restored to you.

Paul sure had a weird way of asking for prayer. He doesn't out right ask for his friend to pray for a request. He says do this thing because your gonna need to be prepared for this answer to this prayer. What if we asked for prayer like this.

Bob-"Hey guys you're all invited to my wedding next year."

Guys- "But Bob your not even dating"

Bob- "Oh you're right that's why you're going to help me ask God for a wife. By the way I'm registered at Macys "

See how this principal can be applied to your life. Prepare for answers to the prayer you haven't asked yet.
