View the full archive of The Lord's Prayer The Kingdom, The Power and the Glory Our Lord's pattern is the Hebrew pattern of prayer and worship kept together. The petitions are balanced and strengthened by reminding ourselves of the power and glory of our heavenly Father. Having just looked at the great dangers and evils that surround us, we have every reason to be weighed down. And so how good it is to turn our eyes heavenward and boldly affirm the glorious truth that our heavenly Father is the sovereign Lord; to him belong all power and glory.

Like so many things, such power is two edged, it can be channelled and used for great good or it can be used for great evil. Here is a prayer that our heavenly Father would keep us from using the authority entrusted to us in our homes, at our work or in the wider society for evil.

It is a wonderful world with so much that is noble, pure and breathtakingly beautiful; but it is also a fallen world, a world shot through with suffering and injustice, malice and evil.

Although our heavenly Father chooses to deal with us one by one, we are set in communities. Like a stone thrown into a pond, we begin with personal confession, but the ripples move out to affect the whole surface. As we really begin to pray we will look beyond our own personal standing and walk before God. We will begin to see and acknowledge our collective responsibilities and failings before ou ...

And yet, perhaps, like a guest in a great house, caught and challenged by our reflection in a great mirror we move rapidly out of its range to the comfort of a great window where we can look out on the world.
