I have always been a little unclear on the meaning of "Thy kingdom come",
but maybe what I feel "Thy will be done" means will help render a
disscussion that might make the statement a little less vague in my mind. I
feel that "Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" is in present
tense and is a statement of the NOW. I pray that Thy will be done, ie. I
pray that with the help of the holy spirit that I and my fellow Christian
family live to God's will.

I don't know if this helps or confuses the issue all the more, I am very
interested in this disscussion.

BTW, I am a new poster to this group. Please send flames directly to me or

thank-you...
