Is is wrong to pray for a specific miracle? I.e. “Please God heal _____ and make him able to walk again.” I heard somewhere that its wrong to ask for specific miracles but is this true?

Thank you all
God bless
Sarah
 
I would say it isn’t wrong but the expectation for a specific result would be wrong as it all relies on what God has planned. In prayer it is better to get right to the point than to use flowery words. It is after all a conversation with God.

Dear Sarah,

We don’t know what God’s plan is for a specific individual. Not being able to walk could be part of God’s plan whether it is temporary or permanent.

I would urge you to begin praying the Rosary as it is a powerful pray second only to the Mass. ask our dear Blessed Mother to provide your friend the grace and courage to live their life according to God’s will. Our Mother will always help in the way that is best for us. She will bring you and your friend closer to Jesus who is the Great Healer. That way you can be assured your friend will receive much needed grace during a difficult time.

This is also one of the prayers I say and I offer it for you.

MEMORARE,
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen

Of course it’s alright. Praying for a miracle just means we really love the one we pray for-and we really believe that God can do it.

I’m in RCIA now and have heard someone say something similar; "ask our dear Blessed Mother " ( in regards to the Rosary). I know while praying the Rosary we are suppose to meditate on a specific mystery so I’m confused as to how we would say the Rosary, meditate on a mystery and ask for her intercession. Do we ask for her intercession after saying the Rosary? Thanks for your (name removed by moderator)ut, all this is so new for me. :gopray2:

I do not or cannot say if it is wrong. But I will advise one thing, whatever you pray for, do not forget to always say that it is as per God’s will to grant whatever you are praying for, and that you are in total surrender to God’s will. And always thank Him, for whatever grace or graces He grants.

You could say your prayer intention before starting the rosary, or after, when you want to spend a few moments, either stating your prayer intention, for intercession or saying thanks for any blessings you have received.
 
Of course it isn’t wrong. But as others have said, you must be open to considering that God may not grant what you ask for, but respond in a different way.

I find it helpful to keep in mind Christ’s example of his prayer in the garden prior to being arrested.
Luke 22; 42-43 ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’ Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength.

God did not give Christ what He desired in his prayer, but He did respond by sending an angel to strengthen Jesus for what needed to occur.
 
Thank you all very much for your responses. I will keep praying and remember to add “if it is Your will, oh Lord’”.

God bless
Sarah
