John 17:
  8  ". . . for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and
they received them, and truly understood that I came forth from You,
and they believed that You sent me.

  9  "I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but
of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours; . . ."
                                  --Jesus in prayer

     I would appreciate it if prayer requests for others would tell
clearly where they appear to stand with the Lord.  I think our prayers
for Christians should be quite different from those for non-Christians,
and this clarification will take if-then clauses out of my prayers and
help me to pray in strong faith that specific requests will be granted.

                                       Thanks,
                                       Kurt
