Lately I’ve really heard the call to pray for others. There have been a lot of situations where I’ve thought, I can’t do anything. Then I say, wait, I can pray. I’ve never been that good at praying, though, and I’m having some trouble praying for other people. It sounds odd, but I don’t really know how. At meals and with others it’s sort of easy (please help so and so…), but when I’m praying alone it just seems harder to me. I want to do more than just say “God, please bless this person.”
Is that wrong, though, or should I just be content with it? Sometimes I wish I could take all the love I have and give it to God so that He can give it to that person in the way He wants to. But I feel so tiny… I know I’m really nothing, but at the same time it’s so hard. Often I don’t even know if I really only want the best for the person, or if I want him or her to actually know that I prayed for them.
So I guess another question is, how do I pray for others without letting my pride take over? A lot of times I think I might be praying because I particuraly like a certain person, and I want to be a part of their life (almost as if “I” helped them).
Sometimes I get so confused!
