before praying

or before you ask how to pray for someone or something that is not in that section of prayers called: "Help" or "Good Lord" or "Good Heavens" or all the other similar exclamation that happen automatically, I find I am almost always praying for protection on my own internal family members and external close ones, family, friends etc.

For us it opens a door to be able to see how to view where we ourselves are at and how to separate the prayer we are praying for ourself or for someone or somethng else. Ensuring safety and protection for all.

I am not sure why this is important to say right now.

You know - there are many spiritual theories that say "there is no one else - we are all one" etc...well... it needs to be understood. Anyways if we go by that - everything you do for yourself you do for others and everything you do for other you do for yourself. You are also not capable for giving something that you don`t have so - praying for yourself and praying for "others" is sort of the same thing in the end. You will have enough in you to give a feeling of safety to others.

I can tell you this from my experience with you. You posted on my thread and you gave it to me - a feeling of safety - without praying. Because you already have it inside yourself
I am extremely grateful to you.
"ask and it shall be given to you?" something like that.
