"If God is sovereign, then his lordship must extend over all of life, and it cannot be restricted to the walls of the church or within the Christian orbit." Abraham Kuyper Common Grace 1.1.

Mike Goheen's paraphrase of the disciples' prayer (Mt 6:9-13)

May your kingdom come so that your name may be hallowed throughout the earth as prophets have promised.
May your kingdom come so that your will is accomplished on earth.
May your kingdom come so that the earth may again abound in prosperity, the hungry may be fed, and the needs of people met.
May your kingdom come so that the world might be liberated from sin, and that forgiveness might wash over the earth.
May your kingdom come; and when it encounters powerful resistance, keep us from succumbing to the temptation and trial, to the power of the evil one.
May your kingdom come fully one day - and may there be signs and evidences of its power even now.
