Matrix Prayer

In the movie trilogy "The Matrix" the character played by Keanu Reeves (Neo) had this pose whenever he was about to fight.  He took a karate type pose with one arm extended forward with his palm up.  Then just before commencing fighting he would wiggle his fingers back towards the palm of his hand, kind of like you might signal to a friend or a child to "come here" except with all four fingers at once.  It had a beautiful sense of saying "BRING IT!" without ever saying a word.

I get a similar sense, similar image, when we pray in the Lord's Prayer the petitions, "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."  In a sense isn't that what we're saying to God?  "BRING IT!"  It seems such a dangerous proposition to pray these words, what might God's will look like?  Often times what God demands of me is more than what I would ever demand of myself, more than I suspect I can handle.  Sometimes God desires I do things I don't want to do, or that scare me.  Yet somehow when we pray the Lord's Prayer, we bravely ask God to "BRING IT!"
