I find for myself that I pray for people that I don’t get along with because I feel so horrible when my little heart, that I feel swells naturally, shivels and rots in their presence. It’s is interesting to look at what that person reminds you of. I know that it is most likely not the person but that something in them is reminding me of a past issue that I have clearly not cleared. I am amazed at how quick my attitude can change. One person in particulatr would simply come near the vacinity of my space and I could literally feel my chest contract. Wow, that was when I decided that really I needed to start to heal this issue. I worked with and still am working through this issue with prayer. One thing that I think is encouraging is that prayer can lead to discovery and habits form after time. A friend once told me that given the choce to rally for animal rights or against the death penalty, she chose the prisoner over the the fuzzy bunny. I mean the bunny gets love already right? caroline says:

Someone was interviewing her on what her relationship with god was like... "So, when you're praying, what do you say?" Mother Teresa replied, "I don't say anything to God. I listen." "And what does God say to you?" Mother Teresa answered: "He doesn't say anything to me. He listens." One of my all-time favorite perspectives on prayer was something Mother Theresa said.
