Thy Kingdom Maybe

When prayer sounds more like a wish list than a conversation.

In this short and witty skit, Thy Kingdom Maybe © brings humor and heart to a real struggle—praying for what we want vs. seeking God’s will. When Payton decides he's “done with prayer” because his favorite baseball team didn’t win, his friends—and the unmistakable voice of God—help set the record straight.

Straight from Matthew 6:9-10, this 4-minute scene unpacks the true meaning of "Your kingdom come, your will be done" and reminds us: prayer isn’t about pushing our agenda—it’s about aligning with God’s.

• Bible Reference: Matthew 6:9–10
• Cast: 5 (Jamie, Tyler, Morgan, Payton, and offstage Voice of God)
• Run Time: ~4 minutes
• Theme: Understanding God's will in our prayers

Perfect for youth nights, Sunday school, or any setting where honest faith and laughter go hand-in-hand.

Sample of script:      

(Jamie, Tyler, and Morgan are sitting onstage, talking.)

JAMIE:
So . . . did you guys see the ballgame on TV?

TYLER:
Nah, why bother? My Padres didn’t make it to the playoff round.

MORGAN:
So what? . . . Most teams don’t make the playoffs. That doesn’t stop us from watching the games, straight through to the World Series.

JAMIE:
My Mariners have never won a pennant, but you can’t keep me away from the TV on playoff day.

TYLER:
But how do you stay motivated when your team never wins the big game?

JAMIE:
For sure I’m disappointed when my team doesn’t win, but I enjoy good baseball. That takes me out to the park or in front of the TV.

(Payton enters.)

MORGAN:
Hey Payton, how’s your day been?

PAYTON:
Don’t even talk about my day!

TYLER:
What’s so wrong with your day?

PAYTON:
I am once and for all done with praying!

JAMIE:
Wow! . . . That sounds for sure serious, Payton! . . I thought you were way into prayer.

PAYTON:
I for sure was . . . but lately it seems my prayers are like bouncing off the ceiling.

MORGAN:
“Bouncing off the ceiling?”

PAYTON:
Falling on deaf ears?

VOG (Voice of God, offstage):
You are saying I am deaf?

(All are startled.)

PAYTON:
Oooops, sorry! . . I didn’t know you were here.

VOG:
I thought we had established that I am always here.

TYLER:
Sorry! . . . I think Payton misspoke . . . What I think he meant to say was . . .

VOG:
Yes, Tyler, you go ahead and un-mis Payton’s misspoke.

TYLER:
I think what Payton was thinking was . . .

VOG:
I know what Payton was thinking—and what you were thinking as well, Tyler.
Knowing what you think is what you guys sometimes refer to as . . . “a God thang.”
