Key Verse:

“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

— Matthew 6:10

Rooted Truth:

Praying for God’s Kingdom to come means surrendering our will so His reign is established in our lives and in the world.

Faith Story:

In 1738, missionary John Wesley returned to England discouraged after a failed mission trip to America. That same year, he attended a prayer meeting on Aldersgate Street where he experienced a powerful renewal of faith. From then on, his life and preaching burned with one central passion: to see God’s Kingdom come on earth.

Through Wesley’s ministry, revival spread across England, transforming society, fueling missions, and leaving an impact that continues today.

When we pray, “Your kingdom come,” we aren’t asking God to bless our plans—we’re asking Him to take over, to rule, and to display His glory here and now.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Isaiah 9:7 – “Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end…”

Luke 17:21 – “…the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

Revelation 11:15 – “…The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever.”

Daily Practice:

Pray the Lord’s Prayer slowly today. Pause at “Your kingdom come” and surrender a specific area of your life where you need God’s rule instead of your own.

Daily Prayer:

Father, let Your Kingdom come in my heart, my home, my church, and my world. Teach me to surrender my plans so that Your will is done here on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• What part of your life do you find hardest to surrender to God’s rule?

• How might your community look different if God’s Kingdom fully came there?

• How can you live today as an answer to the prayer, “Your kingdom come”?
