I am certain that if we should all pray for the will of God to be done on earth, the world would be a better place. Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray and Jesus taught them the Lord’s prayer. For most people who grew up in Christian homes or attended Christian schools, this prayer was prayed almost every morning. Do we really understand the depth of the Lord’s prayer? Today we shall focus on praying God’s will to be done on earth as it is done in heaven. John the revelator gave us a glimpse of what is done in heaven. Let us see what happens in heaven in the verse below: “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”(Revelation 21:4) Who will not want to have such an atmosphere on earth? Have we not mourned enough? The pain of death and loss has left many homes broken. Imagine a world without global pandemics and wars! Imagine turning on your TV and only seeing happy people. This can only happen if God’s kingdom comes and the world operates in the will of God. However, Satan, the prince of this world knows that if all humanity understands this trust, his kingdom of darkness has failed. Therefore he works day and night to put roadblocks in the path of people to prevent them from knowing God and even desiring God’s will. Unbelieving people always ask why a loving God will bring so much trouble to His people. In case you hear such questions, remind them that indeed God loves the world immensely and that is the reason He sent His only Son to die for us. Anyone who believes in God’s Son has life and anyone who doesn’t believe in Him does not have eternal life. Thus, for one to pray God’s will in heaven to be done on earth, we need to have a personal relationship with God. Whoever is not for God is against God. Therefore if you are not praying for God’s will in heaven to be done on earth, indirectly, you are advocating the will of Satan on earth. Satan has been a deceiver and troublemaker since the very beginning. So will the world ever get better? Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10) Even if we find ourselves in the minority, may we never cease to pray for God’s will in heaven to be done on earth. Dear God, we pray for your kingdom to come. We ask for your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus’ name we have prayed… Amen
