威斯敏斯特大要理问答

问192: 在第三祈求中，我们所祷告的是甚么?

答: 在第三祈求“愿祢的旨意行在地上，如同行在天上”，我们承认: 按照本性，我们与全人类，不仅是全然无能与不愿认识遵行神的旨意，也是倾向于背叛反对祂的圣道、抱怨嘀咕不满祂的护理、一心趋向遵行肉体与恶者的意思。所以，我们祷告:

(1) 求神借着祂的圣灵，除去我们自己与他人心中的一切盲目、软弱、憎嫌、悖逆；

(2) 求神借着祂的恩典，使我们能够且乐意在一切事上，认识、遵行、顺从祂的旨意；如同在天上的使者一般，以谦卑、喜乐、信实、勤勉、热心、真诚、恒定来遵行。

Q. 192. 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), acknowledging that by nature we and all men are not only utterly unable and unwilling to know and to do the will of God, but prone to rebel against his word, to repine and murmur against his providence, and wholly inclined to do the will of the flesh, and of the devil: we pray, that God would by his Spirit take away from ourselves and others all blindness, weakness, indisposedness, and perverseness of heart; and by his grace make us able and willing to know, do, and submit to his will in all things, with the like humility, cheerfulness, faithfulness, diligence, zeal, sincerity, and constancy, as the angels do in heaven.
