A READING FROM THE BOOK OF CONCORD

FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENTLARGE CATECHISMPART III, THE LORD'S PRAYER

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

So far we have prayed that God's name be honored by us and thatHis kingdom triumph among us. These two points deal withGod's honor and our salvation. We receive God as our own andall His riches. But now we must firmly keep God's honor and oursalvation, and not allow ourselves to be torn from them. In

God's kingdom, although we have prayed for the greatest need wemust also pray that God's will be done if we are to abide inGod's will. We shall have to suffer many blows from everythingthat seeks to oppose the fulfillment of the first two petitions.

No one can believe how the devil opposes these prayers. Hecannot allow anyone to teach or to believe rightly. It hurtshim to have his lies and abominations exposed, which have beenhonored under the sham use of the divine name. It hurts himwhen he himself is disgraced, is driven out of the heart, andhas to let a breach be made in his kingdom. Therefore, he rages

as a fierce enemy with all his power and might. He marshals allhis subjects and, in addition, enlists the world and our ownflesh as his allies. For our flesh is in itself lazy and inclined toevil [Rom. 7:18], even though we have believed God's Word. Theworld is wicked. So he provokes the world against us, fans andstirs the fire, so that he may drive us back, cause us to fall, andagain bring us under his power [2 Cor. 2:11; 1 Tim. 3:6-7].(paragraphs 59-63)
