Making me Uncomfortable

I revealed to my small group tonight that one of the easiest ways to make me spiritually uncomfortable is to ask me to pray for you...  Like, out loud, on the spot prayer.

People praying for me have been some of the most impactful times of my life.  Because of such, I place immense pressure on myself if someone asks me to pray for them, knowing that doing so could be immensely impactful on their lives, but realizing also, that if I try to make it that way, or aim at praying something profound or memorable...essentially, if I put myself in the picture in any way other than a vessel for God to speak, I ruin that moment.

Everytime, without fail, that someone asks me to pray for them on the spot, this debate runs through my head.

That doesn't mean if you are reading this that you shouldn't ask me to pray for you, in fact, you probably should.  Forcing me to deal with this is likely the best way for me to get to a more comfortable place.

I want to be in a more comfortable place.
