I was recently listening to a sermon by John Ortberg and he was talking about the Lord's Prayer. One of the things he was saying is that "we often say things so often and so quickly that we don't pay attention to what we are saying." I agree. We all know the Lord's Prayer, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." There is more to it, but I wanted to stop there.
What was revealed to me was that I should not live this life the way I so often do! I find myself in a circumstance and I say to myself "man I can't wait for God to come back so this will be over." But scripture clearly states "your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10). We should not be saying I can't wait for Christ to return simply because we don't like our situation. We can long for Christ's return, yes! But while we are on earth, our prayer should be what it is far too less. Our prayer should be God bring your Kingdom to earth, now.
God your Kingdom is void of pain, of suffering, no racism, lust free. God our prayer as your children is that your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Father usher your Kingdom from Heaven to Earth through the Church.
Are you ready? When you prayer the Lord's Prayer do you really believe His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven?
