Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10 In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus gave us a valuable insight into prayer. He showed us that prayer is not instructing or informing or bending the arm of God. Prayer is bringing the will of God into our lives. Its funny how sometimes in prayer, we try to impress God with our flowery language and knowledge of Bible verses: “Blessed Potentate and Supreme Architect of the galaxies, we come before you in this auspicious hour to supplicate before your majestic throne…” Certainly, even the Lord will break down in laughter when He hears people talk to Him with such fanciful words. We dont pray to impress God. Prayer allows God to express Himself in us and through us. When we pray, we are not trying to move God our way. The idea is to move ourselves His way. Prayer changes us. It brings us in line with Gods will. Pray for His Kingdom to come and for His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Talk to God in your heart. Talk to God at home. Talk to God in church today. He’s waiting to hear from you! Shalom!
