"Thy kingdom come."
Thy kingdom is come; Thou art everpresent.
"Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven."
Enable us to know, as in heaven, so on earth, God is omnipotent, supreme.
Because God is everpresent - right here, right now - His omnipotent will is also. His will, His desire for you, His "prayer" for you really, is already present, right here on earth - right here with you - just as it already is in heaven.
OK so yeah sure (I can hear you thinking) right! My life is such a mess it hardly feels like God is present - let alone measuring up to what God's will probably is like!
Maybe so. But then remember what it says in Psalms:
"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me."
If God is that everpresent, then surely it could even be said that His will for you - right here where you are in earth - is being done just as it is in heaven.
Maybe phrase it this way: "And Thy all-harmonious Will for me is continuously stirring in me, unfolding in me, creating me, awakening me - even 'if I make my bed in hell.' (let alone earth!)"
That's because no matter what your life looks like right now, "even there" God is present. With you. Right here. Right now.
OK where is He?
In conciousness.
His intuitions are always with you, stirring you, deep down, to live. His angel-thoughts are leading you to grow up (!) in His likeness. His expectancy guides you, His faithfulness guards you, His understanding stirs you, His reality clarifies you.
To... what?
To be like exactly Him.
Because that is God's will for you. It is for you to shine like the sun! to live an abundant life! to be the living evidence - to everyone around you - of the love that is God.
That Love you live is His everpresence. That light you shine is His all-harmonious will made manifest.
Manifest as you. His image and likeness. Perfect. Pure. Blessed. Right here. Right now.
...So act like it!
