    The supreme commandment of the Almighty God says that one should love his/her neighbour as thou loves oneself. But why do some people find it difficult to forgive others as they seek for forgiveness too? When it comes to praying,the same applies,is it really important to pray for others when we're making our prayers to God?

    Praying for others is a persons decision and also our responsibility as Christians.However,one has to be spiritually strong,pray first for oneself and be cleansed.

    Yes we should help out our fellow man. It should be a salient priority. However It shouldn't be our only purpose in life. We should also seek to fulfill ourselves intellectually and physically. Too many people today are completely self centered and operate with only their agendas in mind. There needs to be a shift for humanity. That being said we cannot allow ourselves to sway to the other extreme and simply be a door mat for others.

    Prayer is one way of communicating to God. When we pray, we normally pray for ourselves. But asking if we should pray for others when we pray, my answer would be yes of course. Because it will be selfish if you only pray for your self. You can start praying first praying for yourself, then do not forget to thank God of all the blessings that you have received from God, thank Him in good times and in bad. Then pray for your family and relatives that God would give them good health, protect and guide them in different circumstances in life. And do not stop from there, you keep on praying for other people specially those who really needs prayer. Pray for your City and your Country. Sometimes God will remind you of one a person, then you start praying for that person because you don't know what kinds of situations that person is facing currently. So don't just pray for your self, include others in your prayers for there are lots people around you that needs your prayer. Keep the Faith, Pray.

    If you feel the urge to pray for someone, do it. Don't feel obligated though, just do what you do. God will guide you.
