As we began yesterday, we are walking through the template Jesus gave us to pray.
We start by acknowledging who we are praying TO… our Heavenly Father.
Then we rightsize who we are and who He is… His name is great. So, may His name be made greater… holy is your name.
And next, we rightsize the mission.
“ your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10
May what is UP THERE, be true DOWN HERE.
Think about what is true in the Kingdom of God. Mercy is given. Justice prevails. Forgiveness is prevalent. Kindness is first. Love is common. And peace is realized.
Remember our series we did a few years ago called “MODGNIK: The backward kingdom of Jesus?” Here’s what MODGNIK (btw, its Kingdom spelled backward) means:
More is less
Others first
Descend into greatness
Generosity flows
Not to us
Inclusive
King on a cross
This is what the Kingdom of God looks like. This is what Heaven looks like. And Jesus says to pray that what is UP THERE comes DOWN HERE.
Our Prayer: Father, may I be a part of advancing your kingdom today.
