In [Matthew 18:19-20](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2018:19-20&version=NIV1984), Jesus says:

> 
> “Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them.”
> 
> 
> 

What does Jesus mean? 

From a surface understanding, it *sounds like* **any prayer request** will be granted if two people agree? However, I know from experience that is not the case - Bob and Sue agree that a new car would be a good thing, but they do not get one.

How should this directive be applied?
