“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
Matthew 6:10, 12 NIV

Now, who is brave enough to ask God to allow His will to be done in their life on earth as it is in heaven? That’s a level of trust that borders on scary. I know we think we are ready for that, but praying that prayer means that your relationship with God is strong. Asking God’s will to be done means obedience. It means that even if you don’t understand, you still have to move. His will on earth means following the laws of Jesus all the way. His will means you have to forget everything you know and trust His knowledge.
The next part is even scarier: having to forgive everyone, even people who aren’t sorry. The way it’s worded, it sounds like we ask for forgiveness so we can be forgiven.
“Yes, if you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, then your Father in heaven will also forgive your wrongs.”
Matthew 6:14 ERV

This prayer is so powerful because it covers all the things we need God to do for us AND it gives us direction on how to activate God on our behalf.
So this is my rendition: allow God to direct your path. He knows the plans He has for you, so why not follow it? Forgive easily. No one is immune from mistakes, so forgive people and allow them the same grace you would expect from God.
“All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness.”
Romans 3:23 ERV

So I said all that to say this:
Trust God!
“Trust the Lord completely, and don’t depend on your own knowledge. With every step you take, think about what He wants, and He will help you go the right way. Don’t trust in your own wisdom, but fear and respect the Lord and stay away from evil.”
Proverbs 3:5-7 ERV
