I was listening to a friend of mine who claims to be a Christian. And what she said was shocking. She said she'll never pray for another brother or sister in Christ because she needs to pray for she and she'll never give out money if asked and if the person needs it because she really needs the money herself. as she said this
it remained me of my own self centeredness not to long ago when I thought  I couldn't pray for people because I need prayer my self. I was never selfish in the way of not giving money or stuff to the needy I always did but I was too afraid to speak to God for people.

When I started to pray for others and as I continued to give I realized that my needs were met. I never went hungry, my problems were beginning to solve and my life was starting to get on track.

What I’m trying to say there's no reason for us to be selfish because God always makes a way for us.

While we are taking care of our brothers and sisters needs the lord is taking care of us and our needs
he'll provide for us so we all need to get that self-centeredness out of us
because God will supply us

it would be better if it goes like this -

As she said this, it reminded me of my own self centrednedd, not too long ago, when i thought I could not pray for people because I needed to pray for my self first.*

thank you so much

This article was good, but it need a little work in the spelling department. Keep up the good work, and don't ever stop writing.

I'm so glad you found the power in praying for someone else.
