I have made a few selfish prayers to god for myself in my life.....I have heard in church(when I went) those that pray for finacial help or help with a health problem for their self or one's they know.....over and over

and I have read in the bible that you should only ask "once" for something since our heavenly father knows what we need before we ask......

I am not good at all at prayer since my since of religon and being is probably warped...

but I have a prayer if prayer actually works that I'd like someone to help with more experiance in prayer than I......

my wife, 2 small children and I go on vacation regular to Florida...we have 2 young girls age 5 &3 that always have to stop at the rest areas probably 4-5 times each way

every time we leave one I am filled with a feeling of sadness and joy though,there are the mostly missing children pictures covering the walls of the rest areas that bring me sadness since most are young girls...then as we leave and I look at my girls I am filled with joy..and almost in tears

I would like to have help here with a prayer for these missing children/adults...since I am not good at wording a prayer

would someone please help me word this?

thanks in advance
Eddie
