I pray such prayers with plenty of caveats.

Persistently they are of the form . . .

Change them into Believers submitted to you; Move them away from the situation and their opportunities to be destructive . . . or take them out of this life--whatever best serves you and your Kingdom, Oh, Lord.

I figure that's more than sufficient opportunity for Him to act on prayers He instructs us to pray yet exercise His preferences across a fair range.

What has been shocking to me . . . are the number of times he's selected the latter.

Of course, I haven't prayed such prayers except in situations where the situation has gone on for years and years and gotten outrageously horrific. Perhaps God was sort of waiting around for SOMEONE to take it seriously in prayer.

The weapons of our warfare are not carnal . . .

Thanks for your kind msg.

I think! LOL.

lol, "Hitman" Quix.

I never even considered praying like that or was ever taught to. God's will in those matters may best be left up to Him.
