Soldier, when you are not sure how to pray about a matter, it is always good to let the Lord know that your bottom line is that He would be glorified.
After all, no one knows how to approach specifics in prayer about every matter.
The issue is agreeing with God. He has made Himself implicitly clear on all matters in His Word. That is to say, He has let us know all we need to know in order to approach the Throne of Grace and present things to the One who holds the stars in place.
He is in control or He is not. And the way to experience the rest that can be found in this wonderful truth is, in prayer. You must pray aloud if it is physically possible. I have often found myself on airplanes putting a blanket or jacket over my head in order to snatch some privacy.
If you do not formulate words and put yourself in a physical position of prayer, you will find your thoughts deteriorating into wool-gathering.
Once you have been born again, nothing is more valuable than learning to trust the Lord.
