Finding Freedom: The Lord’s PrayerSample

For Yours is the Kingdom

As we conclude our journey through the Lord's Prayer, we focus on its powerful ending that reminds us of God's supreme authority and eternal reign. This final declaration echoes the heart of what prayer is all about - recognizing and submitting to God's sovereignty in our lives.

Think about how Jesus structured this prayer. He began by acknowledging God as our Father and declaring His holiness. He then guided us through surrendering to God's will, trusting Him for provision, seeking forgiveness, and asking for protection. Now, He brings us full circle, back to worship and total submission.

When we declare "For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever," we're making a bold statement of faith. We're acknowledging that everything - our lives, our circumstances, our world - belongs to God. His kingdom isn't just a future hope; it's a present reality we're invited to participate in.

The power mentioned here isn't just any power - it's the same power that created the universe, that raised Jesus from the dead, and that works in us today. When we face challenges that seem impossible, we can remember that we serve a God of unlimited power.

And the glory? That's the magnificent splendor and honor that belongs to God alone. When we end our prayers acknowledging His glory, we're putting everything in proper perspective. Our problems, our desires, our whole lives are placed under the canopy of His eternal glory.

Reflect:

• Spend time today simply worshiping God for who He is - the King of kings and Lord of lords.
• Consider areas where you've been trying to maintain control. Surrender them to God's kingdom authority.
• Thank God for His power working in your life, even when you can't see it.
