Subject: Not praying for one's self? |
Bible Note: David 24597: David, I would say it is more like Lord protect my wife as she teaches today. Let her be your witness in a class that kids are in need of you. For me I might pray Lord you know I want to be in the direct will you have for me. I ask to live a life that is pleasing to him. I often pray for strength as my health is poor. If I live let me live for in love the expresses my faith. Yes, when our automobile was no longer adaquite to do the job, we prayed for wisdom in getting a truck that showed good stewardship. I believe that was done. I pray for my adult children and my grandchildren, and my family, pastor missionaries, and many other areas. You are right the Spirit a person prayes in matters.I first of all I confess my sins. Then not in actual order but I praise Him, bring those who need intersory prayer, I bring my needs before Him, often there are people I promised to pray for, and even those in the Forum that have expressed needed prayer. The list is quite long. I am a little confused as to why you feel its selfish to pray for your family? What scripture would you use to back your understanding of this. Like I said I do not mind dialogue, but please this is only an exchange of ideas or beliefs, not an effort to belittle anyone. Peace. justme |
