One time, there is a child who is following a toy racing car race. The atmosphere was festive afternoon, because this is the final round. Only 4 people left now and they show off every toy cars owned. Everything is homemade, because that's the way the rules. There was a boy named Mark. The car is not special, but he was included in four children entering the final. Compared to all of his opponent, Mark's car was the most imperfect. Some children doubted the power of the car to race against other cars. Well, indeed, the car was not so interesting. With a simple wood and little flashing lights on it, certainly not comparable with the trimmings of luxury cars owned by other toys. However, Mark was proud of it all, because the car was made in his own hands. The long-awaited moment arrived. Toy racing car championship finals. Every child begins to get ready at the starting line, to push their car loud. In each lane track, ready 4 cars, with 4 "driver" small. Trajectory is a circle with four separate lines in between. However, a moment later, Mark asked for a moment before the race begins. He seemed to mumble as if in prayer. His eyes were closed, with hands prayer. Then, a minute later, he said, "Yes, I'm ready!". Dor! Signs have begun. With a strong beat, they started pushing the car hard. All the car had slid quickly. Everyone cheered, excited, each sponsor his car. "Come on come on ... .. fast .. fast forward .. forward", so they shouted. Ahha ... the winner must be determined, the string trajectory has also been see the finish. And Mark was the winner. Yes, everything is happy, so is Mark. He says, and muttered to myself again. "Thanks." When the division trophy arrived. Mark came forward with pride. Before the trophies were handed over, the committee chairman asked. "Hey champ, you must have been praying to God that you won, right?" Mark was silent. "No, sir, that's not what I prayed" Mark said. He then continued, "It seems unfair to ask God to help me beat the others, I only beg the Lord, that I may not weep, if I lose." All the audience fell silent to hear it. After a while, there was thunderous applause that filled the room.

That is a selfless act the kid showed. If we're praying for something, we shouldn't pray for anything that can exhibit selfishness, we should pray for something that only includes the good things to all.
