Dr. Archie Parrish, the founder and president of SERVE International, led a seminar in our church on what is called “kingdom-focused prayer.” In this seminar, we learned that instead of spending most of our time in prayer telling the Lord what we would like for ourselves, the focus of our prayer needs to be on the work of Christ and the work of the kingdom, so that we begin to pray earnestly and specifically for the effective impact of the gospel in the world in which we live.
