The third line of the Lord's Prayer invites God to have his way in our lives and our world. For many of us this runs against the grain—we want more control over our lives, not less. But when we understand God as our Father in Heaven, and see his son Jesus Christ pray this same prayer in Gethsemane, we find ourselves desiring God's kingdom and will from the heart.

What do you find desirable about God's kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven"?
How do you find yourself resisting God's kingdom and will in your own life?
What about the gospel can lead your heart to sincerely desire God's will above your own?
What would it look like to pray "Your kingdom come, Your will be done" in your life today?
