“Lord, when trouble surrounds me, please help me to remember others and their intentions in my prayer”

When trouble looms We often turn inward We’re grateful when others take us to medical appointments Bring casseroles Provide job leads Our prayers may focus on asking for faith And Strength for ourselves Yet when Jesus knew His time had come He prayed not only for Himself But for all of us That Eternal God would continue to hold on us tight We would continue to embrace Him It is a stunning act of faith Considering how a change in our lives May affect those we love To remember to pray for them as well Stepping outside ourselves In time of Personal crisis May be our ultimate sacrifice
