Your Kingdom Come!

We are entering the holiday season facing a pandemic out of control and political confusion, it’s easy to focus on our trials and lose sight of the One who can save us. Praise God, Jesus taught us how to pray. He taught us to approach the throne of God with these simple words, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” These words alone are a mighty prayer that can shake the darkness of the world, break chains and open heaven for breakthroughs. Join us as we pray this week’s Unite 714 prayer. Let His peace reign!

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil .”
— MATTHEW 6:9-13 (ESV)

THE PRAYER

Heavenly Father, our world is shaking. In some countries, Your precious people are being oppressed—and even persecuted. Governments are being besieged by angry citizens and being shaken to their very core. With news feeds spewing hatred, fear, and bias, we are thankful You are seated on Your Heavenly throne. Your plans for our world will not be thwarted; they will not be frustrated. We rest securely today, under Your rule and Your sovereignty. We hallow Your great Name above the name of every person, problem, pain, and political system in our world.

Lord, fill us with Your peace, confidence, and tranquility today. Your Name is greater than COVID. Even as You have mitigated this pandemic, we cry out, ”Crush COVID! Crush it under Your feet!” Both indirectly—through the wisdom You give medical professionals—and directly—through Your divine intervention—You have shown mercy to this planet. Though we grieve each and every loss, Your intervention has spared millions who could have perished. Today, we join our voices with the heavenly hosts: “Holy! Holy! Holy is Your name!”

Lord Jesus, You taught us to pray, “Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.” We cry out for Your Kingdom to come to the earth afresh today. Awaken Your Church to the reality of her mission, and empower her for its fulfillment. We desperately need a fresh outpouring of Your Holy Spirit on our broken planet. We need an outpouring of divine light to pierce through the demonic, moral, and philosophical darkness which brings spiritual blindness all over the world.

Heavenly Father, we come to You in holy desperation. Thy Kingdom come! Thy Kingdom come! Thy Kingdom come! Come—in revival power! Come—in evangelism through Your Church around the world! Our planet is broken beyond repair; no government on the earth can deal with the virus of sin and death. Heaven come down, revival fall, exercise Your will—in every one of our cities, communities, and nations. Hear our cry, harkenn to our plight; the world is covered in thick darkness, and we are desperate for Your light! In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
