Have you ever noticed that when you pray for someone close to you, someone with whom you are emotionally attached, your prayer has a selfish aspect to it? I fine it is humanly impossible to relegate a loved one entirely to the ‘thy will be done’ category. This isn’t bad; it’s just the way it is.
Praying for people we don’t know, or for whom we aren’t too personal attached, put our prayer life in balance. We need both. God understands both. I like to be aware of these prayer difference and admit them to myself and God.
