"Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven"
One of the features of my prayer discipline this Lent is that every single day I end up praying the Lord's Prayer three times. And when I pray that prayer I try hard to focus in on the words and not just to let it become mindless blabbering but to really mean what I'm saying. In doing that there are particular supplications that have really come alive for me - specifically the prayer that God's will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
When I pray these words in order to keep them real and alive I usually try to personalize them. I pray to my Abba Father God, and I pray for God's will to be done in My Life, in my family, at my church, through my work and so on and so forth. It may not seem like much but a few simple words have made that supplication come alive for me and made a repetive series of words a powerful reminder of what I'm living for.
Happy Lenting, and Lord let your Kingdom come and your will be done starting with me.
