The Gospel and the Means of Grace
What do we pray for in the third petition?
Answer
In the third petition, which is, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven (Matthew 6:10) we pray that God by his grace would make us able and willing to know, obey, and submit to his will in all things (Psalm 67 throughout; Psalm 119:36; 2 Samuel 15:25; Job 1:21), as the angels do in heaven (Psalm 103:20-21).
