"When we pray, 'your kingdom come, your will be done,' that's the craziest part...that's where we have to come to grips with God's plan."

— Paul Hastings

"When I think about praying 'your kingdom come,' for me, it's an entire perspective shift. It's like setting yourself up on an entirely different path, because everything (as a human) is about our desires, our prerogative, our checklist, our plans, our strategies—our little kingdom. But when I pray 'your kingdom come,' I'm setting aside those things, I'm submitting it all to God's kingdom. I'm saying, 'No, your kingdom come, today.'"

— Vera Schmitz

"We need to be very careful that we're thinking about the will of God biblically...If you think God's will never includes sacrifice or difficult things or hardships, you should really wonder whether or not maybe it's your will that's winning out each time and not God's will for you."

— Jason Abbott
