DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the transformative power of unselfish prayer,
encouraging believers to shift their focus from personal concerns to
praying for others and the world. He suggests that by seeking God's
intervention for the needs of others, one can cultivate a stronger faith
and experience divine support for their own burdens. Simpson highlights
the importance of praying for significant and glorious things that honor
Christ and contribute to the salvation of mankind. He calls for a heart
aligned with Christ's compassion, urging believers to let go of selfish
prayers and embrace a life dedicated to intercession for others.
Ultimately, this practice not only relieves personal cares but elevates
one's spiritual life.

What a priceless bit of counsel! Stop praying so much for yourself;
begin to ask unselfish things, and see if God will not give you faith.
See how much easier it will be to believe for another than for your own
concerns. Try the effect of praying for the world, for definite things,
for difficult things, for glorious things, for things that will honor
Christ and save mankind. After you have received a few wonderful answers
to prayer in this direction, see if you will not feel stronger to touch
your own little burden with a divine faith and then go back again to the
high place of unselfish prayer for others.

Have you ever learned the beautiful art of letting God take care of you
and giving all your thought and strength to pray for others and for the
kingdom of God?

It will relieve you of a thousand cares. It will lift you up into a
noble and lofty sphere and teach you to live and love like God. Lord,
save us from our selfish prayers; give us the faith that works through
love and the heart of Christ for a perishing world.
