The Gospel and the Means of Grace
What do we pray for in the first petition?
Answer
In the first petition, which is, Hallowed be thy name (Matthew 6:9), we pray that God would enable us and others to glorify him in all that whereby he maketh himself known (Psalm 67:2-3), and that he would dispose all things to his own glory (Psalm 83 throughout; Romans 11:36).
