That is,
The name of God is indeed holy in itself; but we pray in this petition that it may be hallowed also among us.
This is done when the Word of God is rightly taught, and when we as the children of God live holy lives in obedience to the Word. This grant us, heavenly Father.
THE SECOND PETITION.
Thy kingdom come.
That is,
The kingdom of God comes indeed of itself, without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may come also to us.
This is done when our heavenly Father gives us His Holy Spirit, so that by His grace we believe the Word of God, and live holy and Christ-like lives here in time, and in heaven forever.
