I equate the Kingdom with God's loving will in our daily lives when we ask the Father's kingdom to come. We are asking for His will to be done beause all things work together for His glory--then it is good. This prayer should affect our living in that through kindness and joy we can bring a piece of heaven to someone who is hurting or in need. Then we open the door to the good news of His Son!

We should hallow the Father by coming into a silence to reverend Him as the Creator of our Universe. We should be with humility that our limited minds, although an awesome thought as we are His children, that could never understand the canvas He paints on for our lives with His mercy and grace, that we are just a speck in the picture from our point of view. He is holy for the way He reveals himself to us and deserves our praise. Out of anger, I have heard *od **** it. To me, do you really want Him to "****" it.? It is a good thing He does not give us what we ask for damning or darning the entire circumstance that caused us to do say this anyway. We truly do not respect His power nor holiness when we non-chalantly let it slip in a common way. We are lucky to be even able to say abba or our Lord's Jesus' name upon our lips. I always thought the most horrible thing would be to be separated from God forever and not even be able to say His Name to call upon by our own mouths. For this, I know that truly at times, like the Lord taught us, we can say, forgive them, for they know not what they do. Honoring God becomes a way of communication in how we speak to others.

Hello I am from phoenix, az. I go to Church for the Nations. I look forward to deepening my walk with the Lord and to strengthen my prayer life in a manner that is pleasing to Him. This is the first time I am involved in an online Bible Study. I think about the Lord everyday and I am grateful for opportunities to study the Word in such a way that it brings Him praise and glory.
