The Gospel and the Means of Grace
What do we pray for in the second petition?
Answer
In the second petition, which is, Thy kingdom come (Matthew 6:10), we pray that Satan's kingdom may be destroyed (Psalm 68:1,18), and that the kingdom of grace may be advanced (Revelation 12:10-11) ourselves and others brought into it and kept in it (2 Thessalonians 3:1; Romans 10:1; John 17:19-20), and that the kingdom of glory may be hastened (Revelation 22:10).
