We are voluntarily submitting to God's rule or reign (His kingdom or kingship) and the prayer is being answered. As far as other folks, we can pray this prayer for them --that they will respond to the call of God by yielding themselves to Him--but He will not force Himself on them. This is what I was trying to say when I said that God limits Himself by our free will.
