Q.192. For what do we pray in the third request?
A. In the third request ( your will be done on earth as it is in heaven[1]), we acknowledge that we and all humans are by nature not only completely incapable of and unwilling to know and to do the will of God[2] but are actively prone to rebel against his word,[3] to be unhappy with and complain about his providence,[4] and are naturally inclined to follow our own selfish desires and the directions of Satan.[5] We pray then that God would by his Spirit remove from us and others all spiritual blindness,[6] weakness,[7] indisposition to spiritual activities,[8] and perverseness of heart,[9] and that he would by his grace make us willing to know, do, and submit to his will in every circumstance,[10] with the same kind of humility,[11] cheerfulness,[12] faithfulness,[13] steadfastness,[14] zeal,[15] sincerity,[16] and constancy[17] that the angels have in heaven.[18]
