"Your kingdom come, Your will be done".
These words taught by Jesus to His personally chosen disciples express His heart to each of us who has been born again.
24/7/365 there is no position we can take more pleasing to Christ than total commitment to Him.
When we pray the words He Himself taught us to pray we are in effect totally submitting to Him as Lord; completely yielded and ready to obey.
We are aligned with God, totally yielded to His will.
Christ in the wilderness, and also on the cross are two brilliantly clear illustrations of what the Lord had in mind as He taught His disciples how to pray.
The "mountain-top" experiences of our spiritual life are some of those "for instance" flashbacks; those times when nothing else mattered except our complete yieldedness to the mind and will of God.
Christ on the cross is the clearest illustration; that day when not His will but HIS FATHER'S WILL WAS BEING DONE; the Master Teachers clearest lesson on submission.
