“In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come” (Matthew 6:9).
“From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand’” (Matthew 4:17).

IDEA: When we pray, “Thy kingdom come,” we are also praying that this will somehow affect how we as Christians live today.

PURPOSE: To help listeners realize that praying for Christ’s kingdom in the future also asks for our lives today.
