Praying for other people

I am praying for a certain person that they may be saved. On Saturday the 8th of November I felt compelled to pray that God would spiritualy awaken her that day. I thought, how can I have the gaul to ask God to do something today? However, it seemed right, so I did. Later that day I came across an article that I have had for many years about prayer, but I had long forgotten the details of that are in it. To my astonishment, it had two examples of people whom God motivated to pray about things that were happening in other parts of the world at that very moment. If God could do that, then there was nothing wrong with asking him to bring about a persons spiritual awakening before the day was out.
