… for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.”
Continuing our series based on each phrase in the Lord’s Prayer, we’re considering “… for the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.” Pray for God’s help as you read Romans 11:33-36.
What reasons to praise God are given here?
How is God different to us?
Pray through each line of the Lord’s Prayer slowly to our Father.
You may also like to use the following prayer and make it your own:
Sovereign God,
Your cause, not our own, engages our hearts, and we appeal to you to set up your kingdom in every place where Satan reigns.
Glorify yourself and we will rejoice, for to bring honour to your name is all we desire.
We love you because you are God, and long that others should know it, feel it, and rejoice in it.
O that all people might love and praise you! That you might have all glory from the whole world! Let sinners be brought to you for your great name!
To our own understanding, everything respecting the conversion of others is as dark as midnight, but you can accomplish great things; the cause is your own, and it is to your glory that people will be saved.
Lord, use us as you will, do with us what you will; but, O, promote your cause! Let your kingdom come, let your purposes be advanced in this world!
Bring people in great numbers to Jesus! Let us see that glorious day, and give us hearts to pray for the salvation of souls; let us be willing to die to that end, and while we live let us work for you with all our strength, using our time wisely in this work, both in health and weakness.
It is your cause and your kingdom we long for, not our own, so Father, answer this request! We ask it in Jesus’ name.
Amen. (from Valley of Vision)
