Matthew 6:9, 11

"Our Father in heaven .... your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. "

Prayer is not only asking God for what we want; it is asking what God wants of us. Kneeling to present our requests is an acknowledgement of the Sovereign's right to command. Prayer is our admission that we were made for obedience, that duty its the core of blessedness. Running through the Psalms like a recurring melody is this theme: happy and blessed are those who love God's law and seek to do God's will.
