Prayer based on Luke 17:20. Themes: Kingdom, Observation, Pharisees

Dear God, as I come before you today, I am reminded of the question asked by the Pharisees about when your Kingdom would come. Help me to understand that your Kingdom does not come with observation, but rather it is within us. May I always seek your Kingdom first and foremost in my life, and may I be a vessel for your love and grace to shine through. Thank you for your constant presence in my life, and for the gift of your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
