         Usually, when people are asked to write their petitions, majority write about their personal needs only and forget the needs of others. When you write petitions or prayer, God wants you to include the following:
  1. You personal needs.

  2. The needs of your family members : father, mother, brother and sisters.

  3. The needs of your relations: in-laws, friends and well-wishers.

  4. The needs of the poor and less-privileged ones.

  5. The needs of the sick patients in the hospitals all over the world.

  6. The needs of your town and other communities.

  7. The needs of your church. The pastor may not remember to do so.

  8. The needs of the children of God all over the world.

  9. Remember the needs of various groups and associations.

  10. Remember the needs of the sinners and erring ones, whether they are doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.

  11. Etc.

         In addition and appreciation, you should add something to the petition, like money or materials, in support of the prayer or missionary work. God is more pleased when we give in support of His work, as well as when you remember those in need and show concern. Make good use of such opportunities by spreading the message, by telling people to submit their petitions. Consider such rear opportunity as very important.
