A. "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" means, Help us and all people to reject our own wills and to obey Your will without any back talk. You will alone is good. Help us one and all to carry out the work we are called to, as willingly and faithfully as the angels in heaven.
"[N]o one deserves to have his will followed no matter what. No one except for God. When we pray, "Your will be done." we are confessing our confidence that God knows best, that His plans are good, that His way is always the right way.

Amen. I really like this one, Persis. Was thinking yesterday that the most important thing is that we be "faithful". We can do all that we want -- even in the name of Christ, but if we are not "faithful" to the work we are "called to" then what does it matter? Lord, make us faithful.
