[quote=Anonymous]One way to look at it:

I have some time set aside in my day to get outside of my own self-pity and desires, and that's when I pray.
This morning, when I do that, I am going to intentionally reflect on your needs instead of my own.

The next time I see you, I am going to remind you that every day at 7 a.m., I thought about your issues and wished you well. Sometimes I thought about your doctors or nurses. 
Sometimes I thought about your family.

As I prayed more, my concerns grew, and I realized that I know someone else who has been to X hospital, used Z service, or tried this kind of tea/massage/parking solution, because I was also praying for them. Next time I see you, I may have an idea that hasn't been thought of, or a solution that's been missed, because I took some quiet time reflect and get out of my own ego to focus on your problem.

When someone who is really religious tells me they offered a service for me, or prayed for me on a walk, I feel like they love me, and if I were upset later, I'd feel more open going to them for emotional support.

However, you could also make a cassarole for someone. That's nice too.[/quote]
