Healthy prayer

I don't remember exactly when I first started to pray. Mom taught us early that we could talk to "god", whoever and whatever he was. (I didn't think of god with a capital "G" in those early years.) At bedtime my sister and I would pray with Mom to god and ask him to bless our family and whatever pets we had at the moment and even then I found an unidentifiable comfort in those prayers. I surmised that god was pretty much in charge of keeping us happy and healthy.
As I grew up and we went to church I began to recognize that this god was pretty important and I started to think of Him in capital letters. Life intervened, however, and God was pretty much relegated to Sundays only.
Fast forward to young adulthood. Somewhere along the line I found myself wanting to learn more about God and thankfully He became central to my life. God and prayer resided naturally within me and the knowledge that I didn't have to do this "life" thing alone brought me then, and continues to bring me now, indescribable comfort.
It took some pretty substantial U- turns in my life to kick my prayer life into high gear, however, and not once has God failed me, although I think I've probably saddened Him at times along the way.
I have learned to be specific in my prayers and not to dance around my requests as if to give Him an "out" should He choose to not answer that specific prayer in the way I asked.
Matthew teaches this to me in the Bible: "Ask and it will be given you, seek and you will find...."-Matthew 7:7 (NIV). And, "Which of you, if his son (or daughter) asks for bread, will give him a stone...?"-Matthew 7:9 (NIV). And then, "....how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!"-Matthew 7:11 (NIV).
I am taking God at His Word and I am praying for complete healing from this ugly enemy that has invaded my body. Please join me in this specific prayer.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."-Philippians 4:6,7 (NIV).
