Matthew 6:9-13Your 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.

Living on Earth as it is in Heaven
Living on earth as it is in heaven means living in the light of God’s love. It also means opposing evil and distinguishing good from evil.
This world is not as it ought to be.
Our prayer of petition that the earth would be a place where the will of God is done as it is in heaven tells us something: It is not being done on earth as it is in heaven yet. God is sovereign over all.Thy kingdom come,” is developed by the next statement, “Thy will be done, here on earth as it is perfectly in heaven.” In other words, what we’re praying for here is help to know and to do God’s will.Jesus said in Matthew 6:9-13 (ESV):“ 9 Pray then like this: “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 also have forgiven our debtors.Yes, the Bible indicates that we will recognize each other in heaven, and that we will be known by others just as we know them.
Closing Prayer:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.
Lord help me to walk in Your footsteps daily by the power of the Holy Spirit. Thank you Lord for saving me and I know you will answer my prayers. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
