From the longest recorded prayer of Jesus John 17.3 “this is life eternal that they may know you the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent”. So often our prayer requests are about our physical needs and God does care about these. But in his sermon on the mount Jesus said we are to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Thus, in the end, despite our immediate physical needs, how crucial that we keep eternal things ever before us in a world where so much is only temporal and fleeting. E.g., Do we have enough faith to not be healed? This is the greatest faith of all; when we look deeper than our physical circumstances and instead focus on our eternal circumstances.
