Range of Our Needs
Prayer, as commonly understood, is a petition to God. Having opened
our channel as best we can, we try to ask for those right things of which
we and others are in the greatest need. And we think that the whole range
of our needs is well defined by that part of Step Eleven which says:
". . . knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."
A request for this fits in any part of our day.
