I have come to believe that in general praying for others is just exercising our ego. Face it, our prayer for another, way down deep, is a prayer for the other to see like we see. And that's even as we're advertising our own unworthiness...advertising by bemoaning our imperfection.
It is our thoughts about them that need our prayer, our prayer of gratitude, our thank you prayer. No matter how wicked, rancid or in need of judgment another appears, it is our thoughts about them that is causing us pain.
It's not so much another hard lesson learning as it is a hard fact to accept: It is never the person or the situation or the place that is needing to be changed...and changed according to our lights. The Father knows the need and the way. It is our thoughts that need to be upgraded unto acceptance.
For today, and maybe just for today, I do believe it is never the one to whom our thoughts have attached, it is our attack thoughts about them that need our love. In short, hug, kiss, bless, release...be set free.
Thank you.
