It is remarkable that in all of his writings Pauls prayers for his friends contain no appeals for changes in their circumstances. It is certain that they lived in the midst of many dangers and hardships. They faced persecution, death from disease, oppression by powerful forces, and separation from loved ones. Their existence was far less secure than ours is today. Yet in these prayers you see not one petition for a better emperor, for protection from marauding armies, or even for bread for the next meal. Paul does not pray for the goods we would usually have near the top of our lists of requests. - Timothy Keller, Prayer (pg. 20) amazon/Prayer-Experiencing-Awe-Intimacy-God/dp/0525954147/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416018226&sr=8-1&keywords=timothy+keller
