The Limits of Vague Prayers

Permanent link

I wish I had something profound or even merely a bit helpful to say about the subject of vague prayers, but I don’t. However, I want to point you to someone who does. If you read Pray! for a while, you probably know the name Timothy Jones. Tim is an Episcopalian minister and former Christianity Today editor who wrote for both Pray! and Discipleship Journal magazines.

If you miss reading his thoughts on prayer—as I do—then you’ll be happy to hear about his blog, “Life Changing Prayer.” Tim blogs regularly. The posting about vague prayers showed up July 4, 2009.

If you want to read more from Tim, check out the Pray! and Discipleship Journal archives:

And as always, we want to hear from you. Do you have thoughts or experiences about vague prayers? Join the conversation!

I just wanted to say that since I've begun praying with specificity I have seen more power in my praying! I will often just tell God what I want and ask if this is appropriate. I also ask him to change my perspective if I want/ask for something that is not in his will for me or the people I am interceding for.

PS I really miss Pray! and DJ too!!!!

I'm so glad that God through the Holy Spirit can use both vague (as in Rom.8:27) and specific (boldness as in Acts 4:29-30) prayers for His glory. I guess it's being alert and watchful for His direction. This article is helpful.
Thanks for your blog!

It really is really a strong approach to decrease the amount of plastic wastes keeping dumped inside of our landfills and oceans, and simultaneously will diminish the damaging quantities of co2 unveiled from plastic wastes which may be polluting our air.
