Thank God that hasn’t happened/isn’t happening to me...
I’ll confess, this has been my prayer. Far too often
After hearing about a problem my mind can wander, selfishly, towards myself.
Instead of praying ABOUT a problem, and FOR the other person, I can pray about my relation to the situation.
I can pray gratefully that I’m not going through a similar situation or have been spared that difficulty.
Yes, it’s selfish.
An important mindset shift is a determination to keep prayer about others.
We should fight to keep our prayers other-person-centred. And, against our sinful nature, it can be a true battle.
