Holding forth the Word of Life
— Philippians 2:16a (KJV)

Lord’s Day 49

Q124: What is the third petition?

Your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

That is:

Grant that we and all men

may deny our own will, and without any murmuring obey your will, for it alone is good.1

Grant also that everyone

may carry out the duties of his office and calling2 as willingly and faithfully as the angels in heaven.3
