“What is selfish about praying for Christ’s love and forgiveness?”
Absolutely nothing. I didn’t mean to infer that in the least. i was thinking more along the lines of “Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz”...
I appreciate the clarification. But I’m still confused as to why you chose my post to deride selfishness in prayer. Was it praying for love that concerned you?
FWIW, I wasn’t clear that I was referring to Christ’s love and forgiveness. I have never prayed for love that would be given by another person, but I could envision a child praying for the love of the parent perceived to be indifferent.
My prayers include virtually every soul on the planet including the unborn. I try to be technically correct in how I pray, but no doubt the wording and phrasing is far from perfect as I’ve demonstrated here.
