There are two types of prayer requests: for immediate need and longer-term cultural needs.
An immediate focus on assistance is understandable and generally encouraged.
However, a person's evolution from child to adult requires a well-balanced focus.
Our primal consciousness contains a mixture of fears and desires to be loved.
Those fears were created by us in order to keep the focus on ourselves.
The desires for love are inspired by God to remove the influence of those self-created fears.
Contemplate evolving beyond those fears in your journey from child to adult.
Those fears inspire negative emotions such as anger and envy: unnecessary emotions.
God inspires the desires for love as a means drive fear to extinction within you.
It is important that an adult take care of oneself, but it is a small part of each day, usually.
Includes the care of the family and the people you identify as your tribe.
The secular world responsibility goes beyond responsibility to your intimates.
God's will encompass everyone in our world and your responsibility to them.
The tribe is easy to see but the remainder of humanity is beyond your ability to see clearly.
Pray requests for family, friends and others in your tribe come easily.
Look closely at the secular world of our country and the secular world of our Earth.
Not just for today but for all the millennia before today our focus hasn't been balanced.
Sometimes, there would be a few who'd answer God's call and usually at great cost.
Maybe too busy focusing on family, friends on the tribe/nation?
Imagine if there were more than a few who actually listened to what God had to say.
What would each part of the secular world be like, then?
