    While praying for someone or something,    do you ever think that what your praying for may be against God's plan?   For example,   say your praying for a sick person's healing,   and the reality is,   in God's plan it is there time to die?     And I'm sure there are a host of prayer examples like this.

       Yes,   and  the last time I prayed  I just started making certain requests,  and I stopped myself, and I wondered what God's will really is.   and then I  did what you say here because I didn't know it.   And I didn't want to pray cross ways against the will of God.      I do understand however that there are situations regarding which God is open to being influenced by our prayers,  so I guess its just a matter of recognizing those situations  before we pray for a given thing.
