There two versions of prayer request focus to God.

The most prevalent is for yourself and for family and friends.

The second version of prayer is often less focused and less frequently done.

Learning how to have this second version of conversation with God is important.

The means to replace the shambles of the secular world with something better.

Humanity has had two millennia to learn this form of conversation since Jesus rose to heaven.

It is yet to be in our nature to practice this version of conversation with God in significant numbers.

Still, we are blind to what the Second coming of Christ is actually about.

You see, it is not about some small group escaping a fully corrupted world.

We've been on the brink of that for two millennia and yet no small group escaped to heaven.

A lot of cults pretended to deliver the bacon.

Open your eyes and realize that the second coming is all of us having Christ in our heart.

The second version of prayer to God isa means to get there.

First, bring the scriptural account up to date: there is 1500 years record not in scripture.

The biblical gospels stop around the5th century CE.

It is important to know all of what God has been telling us in the past two millennia.

Now, let's talk about the second version of prayer to God.

The human capacity to envision numbers stops about 1000, maximum.

Ten digits times ten digits times ten digits, a cube with ten digits on each side.

A million and a billion are really meaningless numbers in practical terms.

That is 1000 times 1000 and 1000 times1000 times 1000, too big for our brains to imagine.

A superhuman brain can imagine 1000people but not 8 billion people.

So, how do pray to God, meaningfully, about the 8 billion people you can't possibly know personally?

It is the second part of Christianity which steps in to get the job done.

You see, you can pray to God to assist those doing something positive for those 8 billion people.

Not passing the buck to others 'to do' but doing your part at the same time, showing Christ in your heart inthe process of doing.

A tangible instance of God working through your actions.

That second version of prayer to God requires your experience of showing Christ in your heart.

And the mystery of how everyone has Christ in their heart is not so mysterious.

It is not your comfortable tribe that matters but all 8 billion of us.

That is the second coming being created in Christ's honor.
