Rather than pray for a specific outcome (our will), I've learned to pray for God's will, in the resolution of such matters.
The trick in praying for a particular outcome, is that we often don't have all of the facts, or the wisdom to understand the results of what we've asked for.

Hear hear! You have said something very wise and profound. I have stumbled on the same paradox myself in my life of prayer, but could not describe it as well as you've done now. That's exactly right. God bless you!

G you are a fine person with fine advice. I agree on praying for His will.
An excellent and useful suggestion on such a weighty matter.
