PRAYING THROUGH THE YEAR
Your kingdom come
God comes to rule as king even if we don’t ask for this to happen. But in this prayer, we are asking: “Father, come and rule over us”.
Your will be done on earth as in heaven
God does the kind and good things he wants for people even if we don’t ask for this to happen. But in this prayer, we are asking: “Father, do these kind and good things for us too”.
