nothing is impossible with God
Luke 1:37
all things are possible with God and in my humble opinion I would suggest your requests are honorable~keep asking, seeking and knocking and above all believing

I believe that you are right in praying for your grandpa but do you also pray that he will have a living relationship with God through Jesus. I know that it is hard to watch someone we love suffering but it is much more important to be spiritually healthy than physically healthy. As for praying for a husband and children - be careful that you may miss out on something special that God has in store for your life, simply because you have narrowed it down to something so specific. It would be much better to pray that God will help you to find the path that He has for you. It's the only one that will make you truly happy and it may be that it will include the things you want.

Well, For one in the Bible Jesus tells you how to pray - The Lord's Prayer. I suggest that you should spend your time thanking Him for what He has already done by giving His dearly loved Son to suffer shame, humiliation, pain, rejection and countless other things so we now have a chance to have a Relationship with Him and get to spend eternity in Heaven.
Spend time worshiping Him for Who He is and What He has Done. And He is well aware of every little detail of your life to the point He even has the hairs of your head numbered.
So you see you can't tell Him anything He already knows.
You see it ministers to God when we worship Him. If the only time you even think about Him is when you want something you will be wanting all your life and never get what you desire. Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

All people want to be happy, and all people have dreams of what circumstances need to be met in order to have happiness. You are no more selfish than anyone else.
I would suggest however, that instead of simply asking God for the things that you believe will make you happy, that you consider putting God first in your life and trust him to do what is right for you. I agree the things you ask for sound nice...but maybe God has something far more in mind for you than to be a good wife and mother. (although both are nobel callings).
As to your grandfather...God can heal and in some cases He does...but in others He does not. I don't know what the difference in the situations are but I do know that I have seen it go both ways. I know it sounds like an easy thing to say...but again, I suggest you trust God to do what He knows will be the best for all concerned...even though sometimes we will not see the good that came from it for a long, long time.
I am reminded of one of my favorite passages. It has brought me great comfort in times of trial. It is Romans 8:28..."And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Your faith will be rewarded. Please..trust Him.

Have you not read..... all things are possible with God?
or that it is the Fathers good pleasure to give you the Kingdom? or the Willing & obediant will eat the good of the land?
The Lord Knows the needs & desires of your heart.
the key to the things you desire are all in His word.
1st: your granpa has a covenant right to healing as a believer. he has to dig in the word and digest it for himself. for unless you have the gift of healing & it will glorify God your grandpa will need to sow the faith required to bring about the healing power God places in all of us. your faith does help and increase the the annointing to accomplish what you desire. there are many scriptures about praying for the sick & healing search them out.
2nd; praying for a loving christian husband is a good begining. there is still much work you need to do. mainly listen to God, this way you will know the right one when he is near.by trusting in the Lord to providr the right man at the right time, on time, & one time you can avoid self deception. make sure you are looking in the right places. also continue to do all you can to learn about marriage, relationships and parenting this is how you can prepare. leave the rest to the Lord.
the greatest thing to realiz is "seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you."
do not the gentiles seek after these things first?
when we put God first all other desires in life wil line up & we protect ourselves fromthe enemy because we rest in the safety of the Lord.
God not only is well able to do all you ask, but willing and waiting for us to prepare ourselves to recieve all that He has in store for us.
God bless you & keep you, make his face shine upon you, the Lord make His face shine upon you and be Graciuos to you. the Lord lift up His countenance towards you & give you Peace.

The Lord knows our needs before we ever ask them. Give to the Lord the desires of your heart, but trust Him with the answers. My best advice, if you want a king for a husband, you've got to be a queen. When I was younger, praying for my future husband and my desired characteristics/qualities in him. The Lord spoke to me, " how many of these are you?" You are not being selfish desiring good things from the Lord, for He loves to give to His Children....but in His time, not ours! Oh, how that is a continual lesson through life. God bless, and never stop seeking His best for your life.

NOTHING is too big for God to handle, so nothing is to big to ask Him. He loves you like crazy, and of course, wants you to ask Him for stuff like this. Take everything to Him. He wants you to carry all you requests and burdens to Him so He can take away your burdens, and fulfill your requests, if that's His will. Of course, if He doesn't give you a husband or kids, He probably has something else planned that'll be better for you, and your Grandpa, God will take care of Him and let Him die at His right time, whether that be tomorrow or twenty years.
Ask Him to fulfill your desires, and then, ask Him to make your desires fit His.
God bless, and I'll say a quick prayer now for your grandpa.

Do you believe in the God of the Bible, and in Jesus, His Son? If you have never invited the Lord Jesus into your heart, this would be a good time to do so, and then read a Bible, and get to a good, Bible preaching church. NOTHING is too big or hard for God. Your requests seem right on target. Pour out your heart to God, and He will answer. He does not always answer in our time, and in our way, but He does answer.
The Lord loves you dearly........and I do too.
Keep looking to God.......He is your Best Friend.

God is sovereign and can do all things you ask of him! Be patient and wait on him! Believe and trust in the Lord, and those things that you speak with faith shall come to pass! Claim it in the name of Jesus! Read Mark 11:22-24, and let the word of God minister to your spirit! God bless you!

I don't think that's too much for you to ask for. God tells us to ask and it shall be received. If it's something that you truly desire in your heart, then ask away. Just remind yourself that it will only happen if it is God's will for you. I personally don't think that there's anything that is too big in this universe for God to handle...Really, if he can create such beauty, then I think he can handle anything we could throw at him. I also think that it's very important to remember to pray about the little things in life too...not just the big things. He wants us to bring Him into every aspect of our lives after all! Keep on praying, and I'll keep your grandfather in my prayers too!

The bible encourages you to ask.
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Philippians 4:6
You may ask that His will be accomplished in your life.
He always has your best interest in mind and always has the better plan for your life. If it is His will you cannot lose.
