Jesus prayed prayers to pull heaven down. John 17:1-5. This prayer is Jesus describing how God brought heaven down through him so that we can be brought to heaven through him.
Everything is through him. If we choose only this world, then we actually are pulling hell up. I pray for YOUR hope, strength, grace, peace, wisdom, etc.
I pray to pull those things of God down from heaven, through Christ, that I may ultimately be pulled up. In this he teaches how to pray for others so that they too can have heaven pulled down for them in order that they might be raised up.
