quicko: "unspoken"

It occurred to me recently that there's a standard prayer request among American circles that's missing in Australian ones, at least as far as I've noticed:  "unspoken."  It's hard to say whether it springs from being less likely to be forthcoming about our own lives, sins and struggles with our fellow Christians or from a genuine attempt to reduce the prayer chain gossip, but I suspect there may be a bit of both involved, depending on the precise situation.
