“This, then, is how you should pray:
 
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”
 
These thoughts come to mind. First of all, am I aware of God’s Kingdom coming? Am I preparing for His coming? Am I motivated by the Lord’s return or preoccupied by the cares of this World. It’s key that I need to align with God's will and to live according to His principles on an individual level.
 
In this prayer it's not just about my connection locally with the Kingdom but this is a global prayer connected to all believers. This is exciting. What we pray is connected to God’s family all around the World. What an awesome responsibility we have been entrusted with.
 
Finally, this prayer aligns with our Lord’s return. When He will judge the living and the dead. Everything will change in that instance, and the many cares of this life will be forgotten. The Devil will be defeated and cast into the lake of fire. A new heaven and earth will be created. 
So, remember what we pray and what we do matters. I am challenging myself to grow in this kingdom mindset.
 
“He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.” Revelation 22:2
