And you think the selfish version is better approved by God?

I not only showed the scripture where God not only authorized it, he encourages it...

Luk_18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

You guys don't care much for what God says, do ya???

That does indeed say a lot. Enjoy your own personal savior.

I certainly hope it does...And I do...

Does God discourage prayer for others?

You seem to think that asking for mercy for myself and others is somehow wrong.

Or do you not see that there is a “me” in “us”?
