So many intentions to pray for

[divinefaith]

I feel a little bit guilty if I pray for so many intentions to be answered. Not only am I praying for the sake of my own life but also for my family’s and other people.

In your opinion am I being selfish if I pray for many intentions to be answered?

I once saw a similar thread which was posted which could’ve answered my question but I forgot what to search under.

 

[ExGratia]

We are exhorted to pray constantly! In a prayer group I attend, we pray for a whole notebook of intentions and we share and give thanks for the Lord hearing us, and have witnessed large and small miracles. When praying the rosary, I always pray for certain intentions i. e. an end to abortion, the unification of all Christians and peace in the world along with more intentions that apply in the shorter term. With all that praying you are doing, I’m sure you are also praising God, asking forgiveness for your failings and thanking Him for sending His Son and all the many blessings in your life. Be a witness in the world and share the small miracles we see around us everyday. Pray with love…there is nothing selfish about that!
