IS IT SELFISH?

Good Morning!!! IS IT SELFISH? Around the Year with Emmet Fox October 15 Is it selfish to pray for yourself? Some people think that it is, and say that you should pray only for others, but this, of course is a foolish idea. You must pray for yourself constantly. How could it be otherwise? We worship God by believing in Him, trusting Him, and loving Him wholeheartedly— and we can attain to that only through prayer. The sole object of our being here is that we may grow like him— and we can do that only through prayer. The more we pray for ourselves the more power will our prayers have for any other purpose whatever; so, praying for ourselves is the reverse of selfishness— it is truly glorifying God. “Bow down thine ear, 0 Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, 0 Lord, do I lift up my soul” Psalm 86:1, 4
