In the model prayer and elsewhere in scripture there is an emphasis on seeking the Kingdom. Amidst our daily pursuits are we craving and yearning for that Kingdom? Do we have the desire to fall under God's authority and sovereignty. We do this in part when we are baptized, but do we long for the complete fulfillment and complete commitment within God's Kingdom?
