“Your kingdom come, Your will be done.” Jesus wants us to add militancy, a fervor, to our prayers. If God’s will is done on earth, His Kingdom will have come to earth. This is a dream, a hope, that Jesus is calling for. It is a dream worth dying for. [powerpress]

“Give us today our daily bread.” Jesus teaches us to let God build a track record with us. The more we come to God the more we trust God.
