So what do you say to people who say “What's the point in praying that, it's not going to change anything?” Well you're inviting God's hand. You’re inviting His goodness, His Kingdom. He has a way with people. He made us. He knows how to get around that. And in a desperate situation like that, I guess that when we, I pray thy kingdom come, I'm saying “Help God, we can't do anything about this, we can't change human behaviour, we can't change human thinking. But You can, because You made man, You know how to reach him, You know how to encounter him, You know how to change his perspective.” So that's a cry for help, but that's also acknowledging the only God can do this thing and I think that invite is what makes that difference. Of course there's no button that you press, but surely when you invite God into a situation that's an act of faith, that's an act of great confidence in His ability to respond to that need, that cry.
