Why would you not be allowed to pray for yourself? I've never heard of that. It's always my pleasure to pray for others...but I also pray for myself and my family. I try to remember to pray for things that are not selfish. I may fail in that sometimes, but God knows what he wants for me...and sometimes, his answer is NO.
I will continue to pray for you. Please keep in touch on how you're doing.
Hugs!
Thank you. AA considers members as selfish, so sponsors tell their sponsees not to pray for anything for ourselves because we don't think right. We're just to pray "only for God's will for us and the power to carry it out."
It has worked for me for 20+ years, so I don't question it - except for this most recent turn of events.
