On Earth As It Is In Heaven

Growing up, I never gave serious thought about this Scripture. It was part of a passage that I had committed to memory, as a child, you know.....

Matthew 6:5-14 speaks about.......

The Model Prayer
⁵ “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 
 ⁶ But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.  
⁷ And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.
⁸ “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.  
⁹ In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
¹⁰ Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
¹¹ Give us this day our daily bread.
¹² And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
¹³ And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

¹⁴ “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. ¹⁵ But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Many of us committed this short passage to memory as children, right? 

As years came and went, I began to SEE the place where Jesus said Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven. 

 This passage:
1- Acknowledges God as our Father, and that He does indeed live in Heaven.
2- To reverence; to honor as sacred, His Name.
3- His Kingdom come and His will to be done on earth as in Heaven.
4- Acknowledging that our daily food comes from Him.
5-  forgiveness - forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us.

6-  Temptation - a plea not to let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
7-  Acknowledging His reign, and His power, and His glory -- to the ages.

We're to be praying for HIS WILL that is already in Heaven to be brought to us, here and now.
We can as His Own Children, and His Kings and Priests here on Earth.  He knew we needed to be praying these things, didn't He?  Then gave us express instructions to do so.  Thank GOD.

Father, HELP US to remember this instruction, You gave it to us to HELP us.  Then HELP us to DO IT.  In Jesus' Name.
