Pray Like Jesus. Part 3

“Your Kingdom Come: How Prayer Partners with God to Change Reality”

When Jesus teaches us to pray, He doesn’t start with our needs. He starts with the Father’s name, the Father’s will, and the Father’s kingdom.

“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” —Matthew 6:10

This is not a passive whisper. It’s a prophetic cry.

It’s a daring, disruptive, dangerous prayer.

It’s a prayer that invites God’s world into ours. That disrupts the status quo. That declares: God’s way is better than mine, and I want it to be real—not just for me, but for the world.

👑 What Is the Kingdom of God?

The “kingdom” refers to the rule and reign of God—what life would look like if God were in charge. When we say, “Your kingdom come,” we are crying out for:

• Joy instead of despair

• Peace instead of chaos

• Wholeness instead of fragmentation

• Justice instead of oppression

• Generosity instead of greed

• Healing instead of sickness

• Forgiveness instead of revenge
