The one which we cannot share with anybody else in the world. Lord, sometimes we do not even know if its a right prayer in Your eyes. We are tired of the wait and the struggle. We pray that You will understand our silent prayer and honour the deepest desires of our hearts, if its in Your will. And make the wait end very soon. Amen.
