You know the words:

“…Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven…” in the olde King James Version of the Bible.

 This is Jesus’ prayer of how to address GOD in prayer.

‘Thy will be done on earth.’ (This is my prayer.)

Fear God! Yes, certainly. For God is our Creator. God IS. God is powerful.

Yet IF you are a humble servant of the Living God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, you have a relationship – a relationship that crosses the line of His Holiness in communication.

Communication of a child of God to our Father in heaven is prayer.

Have you talked with your Father in heaven today?

You cannot be two places at once. You cannot be ‘in heaven’ while your words are ‘in earth.’ Yet we live here… on earth. The heavens and God seem so distant, so vast, so unfathomable.

We cannot comprehend a God who IS, let alone a God who will listen to us as a father listens to his child. We cannot begin to imagine how Almighty God can love us… how Almighty God does love me… how God our Father wants me to pray and communicate my every heartfelt need and desire.

(Father, this is what I want. Is it what YOU want?)

We cannot imagine how overflowing God’s love is for those who love His Only Son, Christ Jesus, who IS the very love of God sacrificed for us.

 We cannot imagine a heaven so filled with the love of God from an earth so filled with hatred until we feel the embrace of God’s love given to us by Jesus.

What is God’s will for a child of His family? What is God’s will for a follower of His Son, Christ Jesus?

The measure of God’s will for our lives is found throughout Scripture.

The Holy Bible separates Christians to God’s Holy will (on earth, as it is in heaven).

Did you READ God’s will for you in your Bible today? Did you pray about what you have read? Do you pray? Do you listen to God… to His will and His answer through Scripture?

In an earlier post: A Love Letter from John, I emphasized the love of God for us as expressed in 1 John. Turning to the Gospel of John, hear of God’s love and will for us directly from Jesus Christ.

John 14
English Standard Version (ESV)
I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me… 11 Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me…

13 Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.

15 “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Because I live, you also will live.

20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”

“If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words…”

Do you pray: THY will be done (on earth, too)?

Do you even pray at all to the Living God?

OR do you think: I will not keep Jesus’ words.

OR in NOT thinking about Jesus & His words is it now time to REPENT?

May HIS will be done on earth (and in your heart), as it is in heaven.
