Thy Will Be Done (WSC #103)

Introduction

Q. 103. 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,” we pray, that God, by His grace, would make us able and willing to know, obey, and submit to His will in all things, as the angels do in heaven. Matt. 6:10; Ps. 67; Ps. 119:36; Matt. 26:39; 2 Sam. 15:25; Job. 1:21; Ps. 103:20-21.

I. God & His Will (Isa. 53:10; Acts 2:23)

What God has as prescribed to be done = Prescriptive will

What God has ordained to happen = Decretive will

II. You & God’s Will (Deut. 29:29)

III. Jesus & God’s Will (Matt. 26:39, 42, 44)
