Prayer Not for Oneself

161Question: How can I ask for the cancellation of suffering so that this request will not be for my own sake?

Answer: It depends on what you are asking for. If you are connected to the world and ask that the people on earth feel that they are suffering, since they are that way by nature, then turn to the Creator and ask Him to change you, because suffering comes for your sake as well.

You cause the suffering by your behavior, by your inner state. In accordance with this, you should ask the Creator to remove all egoism from you, and then you will be able to treat others correctly like the Creator.

In this way, you will get closer to the Creator, help Him in His work, and add your strength to His strength.
