Tips for Effective Prayer Requests

• Be specific: "Please pray for my mother's surgery on Tuesday" is better than "Please pray for my family"
• Include praise: Share answered prayers and gratitude too
• Update regularly: Let people know how God is working
• Respect privacy: Avoid sharing others' personal details without permission
