Isaac of Nineveh
I really like that this article talks about how if we trust God with our entire heart then we do not to think about oursleves when we pray. We would trust that God knows more about what we need than we do, and that his ideas for what we want will be much greater than our own ideas. He loves us more than we would even know, or more than anyone else could love us. A strong, good person knows that he needs to trust God completly, and to become absorbed into himself in order to be completely in touch with God. People who pray for themselves need to trust in God more, and need to be less self absorbed. This reading really contradicted itself the entire time. It was pretty interesting though, and it made some very good points.

I blogged on this reading as well. I also found it interesting how we are supposed to be less self absorbed and rely on God for absolutely everything. I've never been taught this concept before. Even just last night, at church we talked about praying for others, but also praying for ourselves as well. That was important! Interesting.
