Sweet Hour of Prayer
Dear God,
Much too often we seek You in prayer because we are wallowing in our own self-despair. We make every word we lamentingly speak an imperative plea for what ever we seek.
We pray for ourselves and so seldom for others. We're concerned with our problems and not with our brothers and sisters. We seem to forget that the sweet hour of prayer is not for self-seeking but to place in Your Care all the lost souls, unloved and unknown. And to keep praying for them until they are Your Own.
For it's never enough to seek God in prayer with no thought of others who are lost in despair. So teach us, that the POWER OF PRAYER is made stronger by placing the world in Your Care. Amen.
