A Conditional Prayer
Commentators note this is not a blank-check prayer for anyone's desires. Charles Spurgeon specifies it's a prayer for Christ and for 'the Lord's sanctified people.' This implies the prayer is appropriate when someone's heart and plans are aligned with God's will, making it a powerful prayer for righteous leaders and mature believers.
