Philip Yancy - "Prayer"

Here is the next passage of Philip Yancy's book "Prayer" that I wanted to share:

Jesus' prayers, in fact, show a remarkable lack of concern about his own needs. "Take this cup from me" may represent the only time Jesus asked something for himself.

I had never thought about this before. How much time do we spend in prayer asking for things for ourself, rather than for others? Excellent point.
