Thine is the Kingdom
SO if the Kingdom belongs to the Father The Son and The Holy Spirit what or how does that effect our prayer life?
GREATLY
It's like holding fire in your hand

The most important priority for Jesus was to the lost, to teach His disciples to reach the lost. So it only stands to reason that all of the resources of God are available for this purpose. That is why God wants to prosper us.
If our life centers on the First part of the Lord's Prayer then everything that God has is at our disposal to fulfill that goal.

God's Kingdom on earth needs to encompasses every nation every tribe every person.
This is the Commission that God gives us when we accept Him as our King. There are things needed to accomplish this goal: Time, Money, Harvesters, Faith, Strength, Courage so during this five minutes recognize that God's Kingdom is our priority. God's wants us to have what is needed to grow His Kingdom on earth.
1 John 5:14-15
14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
Ask for what you need Ask what you can do. Ask for greater Vision and most importantly Ask for guidance to help you grow the kingdom of God. Is there someone you are believing GOd to get saved? If Not ask God who you should witness to and tell about God. Also though during this time lift that person or those people up. Also ask God for divine appointment with people at just the right time when they will be able to hear what God has done for Them and they are thirsty for what He will offer. This is also a time to ask God for the money needed to go to the mission sites and reaching your city and nation and growing His Kingdom around the world and ask God what you should do and how much you should believe for and then everyday just claim that amount.

What Is very interesting about the Lord's Prayer is the rest of the Chapter it comes from Matthew 6 starts with do good please God and it ends talking about worry and anxiety about money and things and our needs, then He tells us to not worry but rather SEEK first the KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
We are His righteousness through Christ Jesus. God wants us to show His righteousness through repentance and giving and compassion and by loving others and to welcome them to join us in the Kingdom of God.
Romans 6:12-19
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

From Slaves of Sin to Slaves of God
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
Our mission
our calling
is simple
Isaiah 61:1-4 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
and the day of vengeance of our God;
to comfort all who mourn; 3 to grant to those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. 4 They shall build up the ancient ruins;
they shall raise up the former devastations; they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations.
