Self focussed prayer
I have come to realize that... I don't know how to pray for myself. I almost never pray for myself. Does anyone else have this problem? I mean, I say the whole "Give me strength" etc, but I don't really, really pray for myself. I feel selfish when I do it. I know thats silly. All my life I've heard different pastors from the church's I have gone to tell us all that it isn't wrong to pray for yourself, and that you should by all means pray for yourself! I just find myself completely changing the subject mid-prayer when I am trying to pray about something to do with me.

you should absolutely pray for yourself. without a doubt- it is not selfish. if it makes u feel better, pray for others first... then you. God wants to know your concerns about yourself too. He wants to know when you feel weak, and He wants to know your triumphs. I feel like this is a huge part of the "two way" relationship with God. you don't just talk to your friends about other people, do you? they want to know about you too if they are truly your friend. and what better friend do we have than a friend in Jesus??
um. that wasnt you. it was me.
Becky's right
