Traci and I were looking at the week we had coming up and discussing things, then praying together as we do every Sunday night when in the discussion we were talking about someone that was going to lead me to go crazy all week. So, I asked for prayer in dealing with them. When she heard the request she looked at me and asked if I ever prayed for the person as well as myself in dealing with them. Man, talk about getting hit with something big eh?
So, here I've been thinking about this since she said that. Sometimes we're way too focused on ourselves aren't we? No matter how much we as Christians try not to be a part of what the world is doing, it still gets us one way or another. Here I was asking for prayer in dealing with someone when I should have also been praying for that same person! It was all about me wasn't it? Well, I'm going to resolve to be better at that from now on. Sure, I still need prayer for dealing with some things that will come up, but they also need prayer in order to some day become a Christian themselves. All it took was my wife to nail me for all of it to sink in. I'm sure that no one else has had the same thing to happen to them right? Next time you have someone who you need prayer in dealing with, remember to pray for them as well....it'll help bridge that gap. All in God's timing that is.
