Thy kingdom come!

i wonder why Jesus prayed the way He did ... "Thy kingdom come ... Thy will be done ..."?

there must be something important in this request ... to pray in this manner ... i've started to pray for God's kingdom to come, and for HIS will to be done - here on earth - just like it is in heaven ... this part of the Lord's prayer has been running through my thoughts ... and now - running through my prayers ... when i wake in the middle of the night, i pray this ... when i am doing every day things, i pray this ... i feel compelled to petition God the Father for HIS kingdom to COME ... and definitely for HIS WILL to be DONE!

i just wanted to share it as food for thought ... and prayer ...

Thy kingdom come  - Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven ... 

GLORY in HIS holy name

i walked to the beach early one day and snapped this pic ...  then the verse came later - during our devotions ... God's breathtaking morning greetings are available to all - IF ONLY we would look and see ... the fellah that was fishing (which is a worthwhile thing to do!) didn't notice the majesty of the sky - he  kept at his task, head averted ... even when our tasks are worthwhile - if we miss SEEING GOD, they are hollow and don't bring JOY and PEACE to our soul ... 

i'm guilty of having my nose in the computer when GOD is wanting to speak in the calm and quiet ...

i want to be AWARE of His GLORY - daily ... and that is my prayer for you dear blog friends ...
