(Mat 6:10) Thy kingdom come.
Do we desire for God’s kingdom to come? If so, we are telling Him that we are willing to submit to His will and desires for our life. We are saying, Lord, I desire for you to be the King of my life and reign in the world around me.
Are we willing to follow His leadership, as the Lord speaks to us through His Word?
May the Lord bless each one of us as we “Think On These Things”.

As we pray, let’s always remember we are praying to One who has a perfect love for us… we can rest knowing He is in control, He knows...Read Full Story
(Mat 6:9a) After this manner therefore pray ye:…
As our Lord begins to instruct us on the content of our prayers, He makes it certain we understand that His instructions are not to be repeated word for word in a vain routine. The Greek word for “manner” puts forth the idea of “following this pattern” or “in this fashion”.
In the preceding verses, He especially emphasizes this principle by saying …”But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [ do ]: for they think that...Read Full Story
