We do that too!
And sometimes we ask others to pray for us. If I asked you topray for me, would that be a pointless exercise because could have gone straight to Jesus Christ?
No, really, please answer that question, because I'm fixin' to ask you to pray for me ;^)
I’ll pray for you even if you don’t pray for me! :-)
But I’d love prayers, especially right now, since I’m going through a medical procedure next week which I can’t mention here.
