Memory Verse; Adonai is my portion and my cup.
You cast my lot. My boundary lines fall in pleasant places
—surely my heritage is beautiful. Psalms 16:6 TLV
John 21, Psalms 21
"Your Kingdom come, Your will be done” is prayed as a passive prayer so often (like we are saying, “I hope you do something good if you want to”), but I believe it’s meant to be an active surrendering of my kingdom and will to His. It is an act of being conquered, joyfully conquered because I have made a mess of my Kingdom and my free will makes a mess of me. Surrender is not a loss of Freedom, it IS freedom - freedom to trust and enjoy the unending goodness of God and know that when I walk into a room, I can walk in with confidence that nothing matters except honoring the one who conquered death to buy my freedom. Kent Wagner.
Almighty, thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (The Perfect Prayer)
