Is it too much to ask,
Your Kingdom Come
Today!
Isaiah 60:3
Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
Luke 11:2
He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
Words of Grace For Today
The Lord’s Prayer is known by countless people, said countless times, and desperately counted on more than a few times:
Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.
For when God’s kingdom comes, then those that have done [fill in the injustice, the lies, the gaslighting, the horrendous abominations] to us and all other people will be brought to stop. Perhaps they will be brought to an end, though God’s preference is that they will be converted to serve God alone.
When God’s kingdom comes, then Nations shall come to God’s light, and kings to the brightness of Christ’s dawn,
and all people will give God thanks for the breath they have, for the water they have, for the food they eat, for the shelter (maybe even homes) they have, for the meaningful labour they have, and for the opportunity they have to love and be loved.
For now … the injustice continues, the lies live on, the gaslighting has not stopped, the horrendous abominations are repeated …
and countless people, suffering heartbreak and …
breathing polluted air if they can breath at all,
having no clean water if water at all,
having little nourishing food if any at all,
having no shelter yet a home at all,
having no meaningful labour if any at all,
and no opportunity to love and be loved at all,
wait
and
pray
and
hope
that soon
very soon
God’s Kingdom will come.
