Your
kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. (Matthew 6:10 MKJV)
In the previous two posts we discussed how
Jesus taught us to pray. It was about how Jesus approached a prayer, it was a
way that gave all honor to God. Now we continue with the last entry to this
part of the Lord’s Prayer. It is still about God and His will.
The last part of Matthew 6:10 are about
Gods ground. God’s kingdom is perfect in heaven, but evil in still on Earth. That
is why we should pray that God’s will must be done on Earth. This is not for
the sake of God. If He wanted His will on Earth He would put it here. I mean
God is the almighty one! No, it’s for our sake.
We don’t always know what Gods will is. In
fact it is sometimes very possible that we may ask God for things that He doesn't want to give us. In other words we may ask for things that we shouldn't get,
for our own sake. God may for example know that something you ask for is not
the best for you. God may have better things in store for you. That better
things is Gods will. Now God know what is best for you. That is why we should
rely on His will and pry that “Your will be done”.
If
we ask for something in prayer and it is not Gods will, then this part of the
Lord’s prayer will make up for it. Because in Matthew 6:10 we acknowledge that
Gods will is the best for us.
Share your thoughts on Gods will!
Till next time!
