Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10)
This line is, of course, from the Lord’s Prayer, the prayer Jesus authorized us to pray. It is in the imperative mood; that is, it is a command: Will of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
The Greek word for “will” has a semantic range which includes these meanings: determination, choice, purpose, inclination, decree, pleasure, desire, will.
So we might also pray this way:
- Determination of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Choice of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Purpose of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Inclination of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Decree of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Pleasure of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
- Desire of God, be done on earth as it is in heaven.
