Some people challenge themselves with various prayer goals. Many people pray before meals as well as in the morning and the evening. Like Gertrude Stein’s famous poetry line.

“Don't try to climb Mount Everest and set prayer goals that are so great that you become discouraged. Chat with the Lord. He's quite chatty. And, he's interested in us,” she said.

"The prayer goal is to bring the hope of Christ's glory and the transformation of all nations," said Carner, who with her husband, Ron Carner, pastors Restoration Church in East Tulsa.
