We need God in all areas of our life (physical, spiritual and mental), and this is a daily need. Here we are aligning our will with God's will, we are submitting ourselves to Him, and asking that His way triumphs. The third request in this prayer is that God's will occurs. So here we are asking that God's ways happen here, as they are fully obeyed in Heaven. God's kingdom is to do with His ways and order. Here we become aware of our own frailty as we adore and worship the living God. As we pray this line we are reminding ourselves that God is separate from us, completely pure and faultless. The first of seven requests in this prayer. The Apostle Paul restates this by exhorting the believer to address God as "Abba" (Aramaic for "Daddy"- the kind of intimate word that a child would use to his or her father) " And by him we cry, "Abba, Father."" ( Rom 8:15, NIV) Jesus teaches His disciples that God is our parent in Heaven. Click on the title links for more in-depth commentary.
