Q.196. What does the conclusion of the Lord’s prayer teach us?
A. The conclusion of the Lord’s prayer ( for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever[1]) teaches us that there must be substance to our requests,[2] that they are based not on any intrinsic worth in ourselves or any created being but on God himself,[3] and that to our prayers should be added praise,[4] which recognizes God alone as eternally sovereign, omnipotent, and gloriously excellent.[5] In that respect, insofar as he is able and willing to help us,[6] our faith makes us bold to plead with him that he will help us[7] and calmly to count on him to answer our prayers.[8] To show that we want to be heard and have confidence that we are heard, we say Amen.[9]
