I read a sad story about children that were sick and prayed to ask God to watch over them. I found myself saying, "if someone needs to be punished or sick, have it be me and not them". Of course I would rather not be punished or sick and I know that Jesus took the punishment for our sins.
Is it wrong to think like this? I don't want to anger God and get myself sick or punished because I prayed wrong or thought wrong about this. Obviously I would like myself and the children not to be sick!
Thoughts?
