This is a good way to pray, first asking for restoration if it be in His will and then to pray for those who are effected by the event, asking God to be with them no matter the outcome, to bring His comfort and His peace and understanding to those who need it.

It's because that obviously isn't true that you have to come in with all these additional unbiblical requirements.
The Bible is a work in progress. You and other Christians rewrite it and add to it everyday.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
