Before and during my cancer surgery and recovery, I had thousands of people praying for me all over the world. <br /> If you say you need prayer because you are really having a problem dealing with an issue with a friend, it's just not taken the same way. So I just usually keep my mouth shut. Not that I think thousands of people should be bothered with my problems, but just to make a point.ShirleyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977213395999971029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033320547792994210.post-56195152113333401712011-01-06T12:04:37.271-05:002011-01-06T12:04:37.271-05:00I also have trouble asking for prayer, but then I ...I also have trouble asking for prayer, but then I have trouble asking for help of any kind. I was raised to be self sufficient, to be independent - not out of any since of pride on my mother's part - but out of necessity. Your post has given me an opportunity to ponder this tendency of mine though and maybe I can turn over a new leaf!Donna @ The House on the Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996281285406090119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033320547792994210.post-42163507640448180482011-01-06T10:55:30.498-05:002011-01-06T10:55:30.498-05:00I find the same thing at times...asking for prayer...I find the same thing at times...asking for prayer makes me appear like I cannot cope with the trial I am dealing with. Especially with little things...when I had cancer I asked many for prayer....but with anxiety...I have more trouble asking as I feel like as a Christian I "Should" not have this problem....Yet, God tells us to pray without ceasing and i read today that every thought and word is really prayer. I like praying for others, and need to give them the opportunity to pray for me too :)<br />Have a good day...your post has been thought provoking.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089685282700680525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033320547792994210.post-46794743838910689422011-01-06T00:49:34.983-05:002011-01-06T00:49:34.983-05:00I think it takes great humility to ask for prayer-...I think it takes great humility to ask for prayer--especially when the issue is deep or personal.
