I need to confess something to you guys. I've already prayed to God about it, but I need to tell you also.
Lately, I've been going through a phase where I've been so selfish and caring only about myself. I really did not care about other people --I'd read prayer requests and feel nothing for those people. God has convicted me about my apathy. My prayer life has been suffering --I just didn't care.
Please forgive me for saying I'll pray and not doing it. Forgive me for not caring. That is a wrong attitude for me to have and I repent of it. I prayed to God that He would teach me to care again. I just wish I could stop being so wrapped up in myself that I periodically forget about other people --God help me.

I got ya in my heart Sheenar, and I can guarentee you aren't the only one who acts selfish. It's not something to be proud of, but unfortunately we all behave that way to some extent.

Besides praying, have you ever thought what life would be like without your friends? It's very depressing, but it does get you to thinking. What would life be without your dog Pebbles? Sure she's a dog, but it's someone besides you. Sometimes to just sit down and imagine that is all a person really needs. It makes you realize just how important other people are compared to you and really opens your heart to them.

Again, sure it's depressing, but afterwards you also feel better. Not just because you care about other people, but because God even gave them to you.

Yeah, I'd dare say that this is probably the most common sin in the world. I know I fall into it WAY too often. Good thing for us God doesn't wait for us to stop being wrapped up in ourselves to work on us, huh? Well, I'm praying.

We forgive you....Know exactly what u mean by that....there'd be some times where'd I'd come on the boards, say I'd pray then leave without a prayer.....

I most definitely forgive you. God commands us to (Luke 11:4).

I also commend you for confessing and repenting. It is a great thing (James 5:16). I am joyful for you.

We're all a little selfish at times. I think it is necessary. After all, no one else but me is going to look after my own best interests.

The fact that you recognize it and can tell when you go too far toward selfishness is a good thing.
