"Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:9-10

The 2nd petition involves God's kingdom. "Your kingdom come", (the Greek word kingdom is “basileia”, signifying sovereignty, royal power, reign.) We desire the arrival of God's rule in the lives of people made in His image. We want Him to rule in His church and for others to come to know Him and accept His rule in their lives. It means we acknowledge His position of preeminence.
