When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, he taught them to pray for God's kingdom to come. In other words, Jesus taught us to bring our own priorities into alignment with heaven's. In essence, we are to pray for God's will rather than our own. How well do our prayers reflect a desire for God's will to be done? How different might our lives be if we were to truly put God first?

For Reflection:

Christian prayer is ultimately about bringing earth into alignment with heaven. It's more about changing us to do God's will than convincing God to do ours.

- What do you typically pray for when you pray? How might Jesus be inviting to change what you ask and desire?

- Consider one area of your life where you have been very active or exercising control. It might be your schedule, your ambitions, a particular project, or a relationship. With that area in mind, pray that God's will would be done there.
