You know I hope for the best for you-&-yours in your situation, so I do pray for that. (if your situation is good, I pray that it continues; if your situation is bad, I hope you find the strength & help you need to improve it).
I find a way to improve our prayers in Romans 8:26-28. Not 'to make our prayers better,' but rather to realize that they're better than we thought they were. You could say it's "the secret meaning of every prayer's ending ('In Jesus' Name, Amen')"---it's a basic understanding in Romans 8, which I would paraphrase,
"Romans 8: We don't know what prayers to pray; the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us according to Our Heavenly Father's will. And we know that the Spirit prays to make all things work together for good according to his will."
Amen?

Indeed. But prayers are only 'the background-noise' to your life rightly lived in between the start & the end---a proper introduction to adjust your course at launch, and a good way to 'come in for a landing' at the end.

Romans 8 is my favorite chapter of the Bible. Thank you for the prayers. I forget sometimes that a.) people are praying and b.) prayers are mighty and effective. Have a great week.

um, Where did you get that? 'What I got from it' was "our prayers are wrong but luckily God's not listening to 'us' ... he listens to The Spirit itself making 'intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered'."

I'm sorry if you thought I had any idea what prayers you need. I think the point was that 'the prayers people have for you' are all really just "that The Spirit knows what's best and gets the right help to the ones who need it" (i.e. that 'more praying for you' isn't really "a thing" 
)
In short, 'Don't Thank Me; Thank The Spirit of Our Heavenly Father.'
