Praying the Lord's Prayer

It's one of my cornerstone prayers. I go back to it again and again; for direction, for words to express my thoughts and desires, for a means to confess my sin and shortcoming, for a way to see forward by means of prayer. I'm reading through Mike Breen's Learning from Life where he draws out the meaning of the phrase "your kingdom come." Rich stuff.

THIS IS WHAT WE
PRAY FOR WHEN WE
SAY, “YOUR KINGDOM
COME.” WE ARE
ASKING FOR GOD’S
RULE TO BREAK INTO
OUR LIVES, TO
INFLUENCE THE
WORLD IN WHICH WE
LIVE, AND TO BRING
US THE REALITY OF
HEAVEN.
