Are We Praying For The Right Things?

 The Lord's Prayer sets out a model of how to pray to God. It reads (in the KJV):

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
 

I suspect that most people that regularly pray will regularly pray for most of the items or categories that Christ outlined. But how many of us regularly pray that "Thy kingdom come"? I mean, it is essentially a prayer for the Second Coming. It is, perhaps, the ultimate version of "deliver us from evil" and "Thy will be done on earth." Perhaps we should be praying for the Second Coming to occur ASAP.
