His Reign (Matthew 6:10)
Praying "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done," is good for our hearts. We struggle with misoriented prayer. That statement reminds that the mission of prayer is the magnification of God's kingdom, not ours.

Praying "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done," is good for our hearts. We struggle with misoriented prayer. That statement reminds that the mission of prayer is the magnification of God's kingdom, not ours.
The first two words of the Lord's or Model prayer, Our Father, reveal both the basis and purpose for our prayer. Those two words give us the confidence to come to the King of the universe as Father and puts us on mission to hallow his name.
This sermon opens our "When You Pray" series through the Model or Lord's Prayer. Here we see what the heart of prayer is, recognizing that it is not a performance, but it is desperation. Praying rightly is an understanding of who God is.
As the people of God, believers can look back at God's faithfulness and ahead in expectation of his future mercy and grace. These future promises have significance for our every day lives. We live now in the new identity and kingdom to come.
The Triune God is a creative, life-giving God. He created at the beginning, and brings the beginnings of a new creation at the incarnation of Christ. The Spirit points to this work and the Person of Christ, and we, who are called by the Spirit, ought to follow His leading.
True disciples of King Jesus see with the compassionate eyes of their King. In compassion, they continue both the work and the word that Jesus spoke and worked.
