One prayer that I do often is when I see a maniac driver. If I see someone excessively speeding or driving rather crazily, I will actually pray that he/she gets caught with a ticket. lol. It's just one of those things when you actually want people to reap a specific consequence to their actions with actual good intentions...not to be spiteful.
Exactly! You want them to reap the consequences of a ticket instead of the consequences of an accident. I'm understanding what you mean.

A lot of times, I pray God's blessings on the car ahead of me.
I did have an unusual prayer a few weeks ago. I was noticing I was having some back pain a few days before our family's yearly trek to a particular amusement park that has become a family tradition for us. The day before we left, I found myself praying about my back pain. That's not an unusual prayer in and of itself, but I knew that the only reason I was praying it was so that I could ride the roller coasters. I am 44 years old. I felt that I had no business praying such a selfish request. But I couldn't stop myself or convince myself it was totally selfish. The idea of the trip was family time, and I didn't want anything interfering with that. At least, that was what I told myself. I knew we could have a fine time even if I didn't ride the roller coasters. I never mentioned it because I was embarrassed. But I didn't have any back pain while at the park, and I was able to ride the roller coasters with my family. God even gives blessings we don't think we deserve!

Sometimes I catch myself praying for the characters in a movie I'm watching.

Lord teach me patience. And be quick about it.
I hope this isn't too far off-topic, but do you know that invitational hymn Whiter than Snow? There's a line in I think the second stanza that has an unusual prayer, very similar to the one you posted: "Lord Jesus, Thou seest I patiently wait/ Come now..." Look it up. It really does say exactly that.

Lord teach me to love my mother-in-law just as I love the sun ... from afar.
