I was a little uncomfortable with this chapter. Perhaps I was misunderstanding it, and I like the way Pastor Lee wrote about it in his comments.
I don’t think it’s wrong for us to pray for ourselves, our family, and the people and circumstances in our lives. I’ve always been taught that God is our father in heaven, who wants his children to come to him even with the smallest requests. However, I need to broaden my view and pray not just for the things that impact me, but pray for the people, things, ministries, etc. that God cares about.
