'Seek' (below-hyperlinked to a Bible-verse that solves my misunderstanding of 'the way prayer actually works') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Seek” is built on words that mean “to Track down (to Perceive |Quickly, -|Keenly; |Presaging, Predicting)” (to Beseech).

It 'bothers me' when people ask for "prayers for healing" ... partly because a person's prayers are said to be "their private conversation with God," but mostly because God trusts us with these bodies!
So what you're really praying-for is forgiveness for your mis-management of the machine he trusted you with! (a machine that you are telling him you can't control anymore)
Take–for instance–Type-2 Diabetes—a disease one contracts by (putting it simply) eating too-much sugar. If you pray about it, the response will usually be a diet with far less sugar; but if you don't change your diet, the prayer is worthless!
