Catechism Reading:
The Second
Petition
Thy kingdom
come.
What does this
mean?
The kingdom of
God certainly comes by itself without our prayer,
but we pray in
this petition that it may come to us also.
How does God's
kingdom come?
God's kingdom
comes
when our
heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit,
so that by His
grace we believe His holy Word
and lead godly
lives here in time and there in eternity.
The Third
Petition
Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven.
What does this
mean?
The good and
gracious will of God is done even without our prayer,
but we pray in
this petition that it may be done among us also.
How is God's
will done?
God's will is
done
when he breaks
and hinders every evil plan and purpose
of the devil,
the world, and our sinful nature,
which do not
want us to hallow God's name
or let His
kingdom come;
and when He
strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith
until we die.
This is His
good and gracious will.
