After reading The Lord's Prayer in Matthew today, we are to spend 10 minutes praying "Your will be done, on ____________ as it is in heaven" while filling in the blank with an area of concern or a part of our life. As we do this we should be thinking about how we might be "carriers" of God's will during our journeys in our pilgrimage, thereby "infecting" His will on the earth.
"Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done in Iraq, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done for our soldiers, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done in America, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done in Middletown, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done in J2A/Confirmation, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done in my home, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done on the internet, as it is in heaven."
"Your will be done in my mind, as it is in heaven."
You get the idea...
It's eye opening to realize that I have tasks (a to do list?) related to God carrying out His will here on earth for each of these areas of concern for me. A key part of my work on my journey is to so connect with God that my thoughts and desires express His will.
I still have a long path to go...
