Q. What do we pray for in the third petition? A. In the third petition, (which is, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven, (Matt. 6:10) ) acknowledging, that by nature we and all men are not only utterly unable and unwilling to know and do the will of God, (Rom. 7:18, Job 21:14, 1 Cor. 2:14) but prone to rebel against his word, (Rom. 8:7) to repine and murmur against his providence, (Exod. 17:7, Numb. 14:2) and wholly inclined to do the will of the flesh, and of the devil: (Eph. 2:2) we pray, that God would by his Spirit take away from ourselves and others all blindness, (Eph. 1:17β18) weakness, (Eph. 3:16) indisposedness, (Matt. 26:40β41) and perverseness of heart; (Jer. 31:18β19) and by his grace make us able and willing to know, do, and submit to his will in all things, (Ps. 119:1,8,35β36, Acts 21:14) with the like humility, (Micah 6:8) cheerfulness, (Ps. 100:2, Job 1:21, 2 Sam. 15:25β26) faithfulness, (Isa. 38:3) diligence, (Ps. 119:4β5) zeal, (Rom. 12:11) sincerity, (Ps. 119:80) and constancy, (Ps. 119:112) as the angels do in heaven. (Isa. 6:2β3, Matt. 18:10)
