Despite all my faults

A friend was troubled about the direction in her life. I asked her if I could pray for her and what she would want me to pray about. She requested that I pray for wisdom so that she could be more clear about what she wanted to do with her life. Then she asked me what she could do for me because it seemed to her that I was always praying for others but surely I myself would also need some support. I was very touched by what she said because it was nice to be asked what your own need was, by the person you're praying for. I told her that I, too, have issues; I, too, are not perfect; and that I, too, hope that friends, like herself, would accept me despite all my faults. She said okay.
