goods a devout husband or wife, devout children, devout workers, devout and ,
faithful rulers, good government, good weather, peace, health, self-control,
good reputation, good friends, faithful neighbors, and the like.
52 The Fifth Petition
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
What does this mean?
We pray in this petition that our Father in Heaven would not look at our sins, or
deny our prayer because of them. We are neither worthy of the things for which
we pray, nor have we deserved them, but we ask that He would give them all to
us by grace, for we daily sin much and surely deserve nothing but punishment.
So we too will sincerely forgive and gladly do good to those who sin against us.
53 The Sixth Petition
And lead us not into temptation.
What does this mean?
God tempts no one. We pray in this petition that God would guard and keep us so
that the devil, the world, and our sinful nature may not deceive us or mislead us
into false belief, despair, and other great shame and vice. Although we are attacked
by these things, we pray that we may finally overcome them and win the victory.
54 The Seventh Petition
But deliver us from evil.
What does this mean?
We pray in this petition, in summary, that our Father in Heaven would rescue us from every
evil of body and soul, possessions and reputation, and finally, when our last hour comes,
give us a blessed end, and graciously take us from this valley of sorrow to Himself in Heaven.
55 The Conclusion
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
What does this mean?
This means that I should be certain that these petitions are pleasing to our Father
in Heaven, and are heard by Him, for He Himself has commanded us to pray in
this way and has promised to hear us. Amen, amen means "yes, yes, it shall be so."
