What the Bible says about Focus in Prayer
(From Forerunner Commentary)
Psalm 78 recounts Israel's constant disobedience to God. Never satisfied with what God gave them, Israel always pushed Him to see how much they could satisfy their own desires! Could we be doing the same thing when we pray? Is our focus always toward God's purpose and the welfare of others?
Just like Christ, we have the same kind of power in our grasp every time we come before God's throne in prayer! Do we use it to satisfy ourselves or to further the purpose of God? Most likely we will not find true contentment until we use the power we have in absolute service to others.
