This week I received a circular letter from a friend. She works for Jesus among the Indians of America. Your initial thoughts have just got raised. Here's a (shortened) Excerpt:
Praying noticed a few days ago I frowned as I sounded really selfish. All my prayers turned to it that God would help people - so I do not need it! "Oh Lord, please do that so and realize that you love her." - Oh yeah? A warm feeling of God instead of a few friendly words and a hug from me? "Oh Lord, please let the baby of so and be healthy again." - Or maybe I should go call times and the young mother and child to the hospital to ...?
we do not pray often quite similar? I have! And such a prayer is not all that wrong. Only we should not exclude that The Lord wants to use as a prayer. And even if we do not pray in this way the Lord wants us still use in the life of our fellow human beings. Matthew 7:12 tells us:
in everything, what do you want that you should do to people, that ye do them well.
What can it mean for me today?
- I am grateful for those who pray for me. - So I pray for others.
- I appreciate it to hear a kind word - so I would not skimp on it too.
- I am reliant on others to see my error - so I also will not my neighbor's fault . Hold
- I am relieved when someone helps me a hard work - so keep your eyes open, I too, where someone needs my help.
- I will set up when others love me, prove comfort, encouragement - that I would also like to pass these values to others.
