View ResourcesQ. Which is the second petition?
A. Thy kingdom come;
that is,
rule us so by Thy Word and Spirit, that we may submit ourselves more and more to Thee;
preserve and increase Thy church;
destroy the works of the devil and all violence which would exalt itself against Thee;
and also, all wicked counsels devised against Thy holy Word;
till the full perfection of Thy kingdom take place,
wherein Thou shalt be all in all.
