Your Kingdom
Asking God for his kingdom to come and his will to be done is one of the most comforting and most dangerous prayers a Christian can pray. It's comforting because it validates our experience and invites us to lament; because Jesus prayed it for us in Gethsemane and secured our adoption in his family; and because Jesus has guaranteed that the fulness of the kingdom will come when he returns. At the same time, praying it is dangerous because it asks us to submit our kingdoms to his, to be active participants in how he answers our prayers, and to obey him even when it hurts.
