When we pray, we often ask God to "bless the sick and afflicted," but really, that's everyone. We're not all always sick, though some of us are always sick and all of us get sick sometimes, but we are all afflicted. All of us have afflictions to endure and challenges to overcome. We all have hardships to face and mountains to climb. If we pray on behalf of all those who are dealing with difficulties and afflictions, then we are praying an behalf of everyone on the planet. And you know, there's something very Christian about that. Jesus Christ gave His life to bless everyone who would ever live, both the righteous and the wicked. He bore everyone's burdens, and we all had/have burdens to bear. I hope that we keep praying for God to bless all the sick and the afflicted, and I hope that He continues to do so. We all have afflictions to deal with, and we could all use God's help in dealing with them.
