The next time someone asks you if you have a prayer request, consider making a request about God's Kingdom. For example, rather than stating a specific need of your own, say something like: "I am trying to witness to my neighbor. I would love to see her come to know the Lord. Would you pray I'll have an opportunity to speak to her this week?"
While it is not wrong to share your own concerns, it becomes easy to focus on our own "needs" rather than thinking about advancing the kingdom.
