The Lord’s Prayer is both a prayer in itself and also a model prayer. Through it, Jesus teaches us how to offer up to God everything we need for body and soul. In the prayer’s middle section, there are six appeals to God that we call “petitions.” Today, we turn to the second and third petitions: “Thy kingdom come” and “thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”
