Hi everyone,
So, I started going around the Prayer Intention forum the past month or so and would help pray for the intentions posted there (as many as I could). I found some kind of peace by praying for others. A couple of weeks ago, I got upset about something (can’t really remember what it was), now I’m the type that would kinda just be grumpy all round when I’m upset and I’ve always hated that - so that day, for some reason, as soon as I got upset, instead of sulking/getting angry, I decided to go on the Prayer intention forum and start praying for people. After I did that, I just wasn’t upset at anything anymore, I guess I forgot about it or something. Ever since then, whenever something upsets me, I would do just that - go to the forum and start praying. I still do my special prayer time at night and pray for the intentions posted, but this is like an additional thing, like during the day and I got upset. I would look at the requests with the least responses at the time and pray for them.
My question is, is it okay for me to do something like this? I feel like I found that instead of lashing out my feelings, focusing it on something positive like prayer has been much better. I have tried just praying to let those feelings go away, but it has not worked as well as this has before. I’m just worried I might be abusing prayer.
Beforehand, thank you for any responses you have!
