I think it important to not be a ‘spiritual leach’.Is it rational / reasonable to have all of you pray that my ingrown toenail resolve itself?
One who asks for prayers but doesnt perform the same.
As to asking for prayer from others over small things,its not something I do or find admirable in others.
For instance if I have an ingrown toenail and for the next two weeks it is
up to me to soak in epsom salts and hot water for it to resolve then I dont ask people to pray for me, unless I am also diabetic and by nature this is then a serious problem, or this has run through a course of antibiotics and two months without resolving. Since you have posed the question of reasonableness , I have to presume this is a rather small matter.

There are some things that we are expected to do for ourselves. If you have an ingrown toenail, get to a podiatrist.

Sorry for my bad english,dear friend. There is nothing You can’t ask Your Heavenly Father to do or to give You,and most wishes will be granted unless they don’t harm anyone else or are something that You,with all Your faith,and God give us not only faith but also strength just as much we need,to do things our self,but back to Your toenail,I can’t give You medical advices,so I think You need to see a doctor,and in the future,try to clip Your tonails straight,that way they want grow in. (And that was not a medical advice,just a thing I saw somewhere.)

So how should we respond to prayer requests like doing well on an exam, which depends on studying, or that a medical test comes back with good news, which is after the fact, or that an abusive live-in has a complete personality change for the better, which seems to miss the point?…it is up to me…

An in-grown toe nail can be a serious thing- especially for diabetics or others for whom even “minor” infections can be dangerous. Of course we should always do what we can to take care of ourselves; but I also depend on my brothers and sisters to pray for me in matters great and small as I do for them (you). It is often the simple small things that could seem incosequential that end up tripping me up in big ways.
Lord Jesus, as you walked so many miles to fulfill your Father’s wil,l no doubt your feet must have hurt from time to time. And with each painful step leading you ever closer to the road to calvary, you perservered. As Apollos deals with a painful condition of the toe, give comfort and healing according to your will. And may this experience give Apollos a spirit of charity and empathy in also praying for others. You Dear Lord can take the smallest thing and use it for Your glory. Let that be so in this case. Also, dear Jesus as we are reminded that the simple act of ambulating ourselves can be extremely difficult for those who are sick and injured, we commend them to your loving care.
Amen.

Totterman has it right. There is nothing that you cannot pray for. As far as asking others to join you in your intention, good luck with that! It seems there are already too many reasons for prayer. I have to prioritize my intentions. Your toenails will not be near the top.Jesus,our Lords peace be with You.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with asking for prayers for such a thing. An ingrown toenail can be very painful. Of course, I would still suggest going to a quick care clinic to get it taken care of though.
