With the tension churning within us, knowing all the ways the earth is not yet as God intended it to be, we are driven to pray daily: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." We are not looking for an escape from the world; we are looking for the restoration of the world. Jonathan Martin
About This Quote

We all know that we live in a fallen world. We know that the world was created by God and that He intended for it to be a perfect creation. That is why we struggle with our obsession with technology and our obsession with fast food and the like. We all struggle with our own selfish desires and we all wonder if there is something better out there. It is when we realize that we cannot change things for ourselves, but only through Christ can we return to God's perfect will, when we begin to pray daily: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven."
