Prayer 01: Talking to God

Rule of Life

NOTE

Prayer: Participation, Not Resignation

The phrase 'your kingdom come, your will be done' in the Lord's prayer signifies Jesus's belief that the kingdom of God has not fully come and God's will is not entirely being carried out on Earth. This prayer is not about resignation but about active participation. It is a call for believers to engage in God's work and recognize their role in bringing about His kingdom. Rather than viewing it as a plea for God to fix the world due to its problems, it should be seen as a request for empowerment to contribute positively with God's strength and intervention. Prayer, therefore, is a means for God to work within individuals and through them, emphasizing the concept of grace as defined by Dallas Willard.
