Common Prayer

Most people my age aren't really big fans of liturgy; I, however, love liturgy. I think liturgy takes to the past so we can move to the future. I started reading the Book of Common Prayer this morning. It is quite enlightening. One line has really struck me today, "In our lives and in our prayers: may your kingdom come." Often times I find myself telling God what I think needs to happen... praying for health, peace, finances, et cetera. But very rarely do I truly say and mean whatever your kingdom needs let it be so. Challenged by one simple statement to keep my will in submission to the greater good of the kingdom.
