Psalm 1 tells us about the blessedness of meditating on the law of the Lord and delighting in it.

The final phrase of the Lord's Prayer is a most fitting conclusion to the prayer because it brings us back to where we began -- the glory of God in heaven.

In the final petition of the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches us to pray for the Father to order our paths away from the temptation of the Evil One and for him to give us the necessary grace to overcome when we are facing temptation.

We pray for forgiveness and for the grace to forgive others. In fact, Jesus teaches us that our forgiveness of others determines whether or not we are forgiven. This is not because our forgiveness of others is a work that earns our forgiveness from God. Rather, it is that our forgiveness from God, which is infinite and unconditional, should make us willing to forgive others. If it doesn't, then we have to ask if we've received the forgiveness of God through faith.

When we pray for God to give us our daily bread, we pray for him to give us the provisions we need to enable us to live for his glory, under his reign, and doing his will. We thank him for the provisions of our past and for what we need today, not tomorrow.

"What does it mean to pray for God's will to be done on earth as it is in heaven?" is a big question. This brief devotional focuses on the personal application of 1 Corinthians 10:31-32 as we seek to live every day in a manner worthy of Christ so as to fulfill God's will for our lives to glorify him.

Thy Kingdom Come is a prayer that asks God to bring his active reign into the hearts of men and women through the work of the Holy Spirit and faith in Jesus Christ.

The only priority of prayer for the Christian is that the name of our great God be glorified in everything. Join us as we discuss this first petition of the Lord's Prayer.

Our Father being in Heaven means that He's outside of the world and powerful over it as well as that Heaven is real. Join us.

We have a loving Father who has chosen us to be his children. Let us draw near to him.
