It is also good to focus on "Thy Kingdom come".

From the "Simple instructions for prayer" which Martin Luther wrote for his barber, Peter, of Wittenberg:

Dear Lord God and Father, convert and control. Convert those who are still to become children and members of your kingdom, that together we may serve you in your kingdom in the right faith and true love and pass from this kingdom begun here to your everlasting kingdom. Control those who would not withdraw their might and means from disturbing your kingdom. May they be dethroned and in humiliation stop molesting your kingdom

Sometimes when I need a simple "javelin" prayer I simply pray "Convert and control..."

Absolutely! Do we ever know if our two feet will hit the floor every morning?
