Repose: The Power and Glory

Overview
The Lord’s Prayer is quite a workout. You’re asking for a lot of things: daily bread, deliver us from evil. But at the end, you rest in God.
The last phrase in the Lord’s Prayer is, “For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever, amen.” Is that just a rhetorical flourish? After all, it doesn’t seem to be a prayer. But ancient commentators have said this is a prayer of repose. You realize all the things you’ve been looking for are already there in God.
In Psalm 27 we have an example of a prayer of repose, and it’s exactly what the end of the Lord’s Prayer embodies. This is a psalm of David, and we learn 1) what he’s facing, 2) what he does about it, 3) how he does it, and 4) why he’s confident it will work.
