1. Chain the Catechism: A topical study through the Lutheran confessions The Lord’s Prayer 3rd Petition-Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven Memorization Verses: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. What does this mean? The good and gracious will of God is done even without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may be done among us also. How is God's will done? God's will is done when He breaks and hinders every evil plan and purpose of the devil, the world, and our sinful nature, which do not want us to hallow God's name or let His kingdom come; and when He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith until we die. This is His good and gracious will.

2. Thy Will Be Done One player takes the role of 'Simon' and issues instructions, (usually physical actions such as 'jump in the air' or 'stick out your tongue') to the other players, which should only be followed if prefaced with the phrase 'Simon says', for example 'Simon says jump in the air'. Players are eliminated from the game by either following instructions that are not immediately preceded by the trigger phrase or by failing to follow an instruction which does include 'Simon says'. A command starting with "Simon says" means the players must obey that command. A command without the beginning "Simon says" means do not do this action. Anyone who breaks one of these two rules is eliminated from the remainder of the game. It is also often played that anyone who talks is eliminated. There can be very complex and difficult command chains, such as "Simon says: Arms up. Simon says: Arms down. Arms up." Anyone ending with their arms up is eliminated, because you can not obey a command without beginning with "Simon says". It is considered cheating to give impossible commands ("Simon says 'lift both of your legs up and keep them there!'.") or phrase the commands in such a way that the other player has no option but to 'go out' ("Simon says 'jump up'. Come down."). However, at least in some versions, it is allowed for Simon to eliminate players by asking them to do something seemingly unrelated to the game (example: "Anyone remaining join me up here.")

3. My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do.My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do. The mountains are his, the rivers are his, the stars are His handiwork, too. My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do, for you!

4. Ps 86:11 Teach me your ways, O LORD, that I may live according to your truth! Grant me purity of heart, so that I may honor you.

5. From Luther’s Large Cat.: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” 1/4 Thus far we have prayed that God's name be honored by us, and that His kingdom prevail among us; in which two points is comprehended all that pertains to the honor of God and to our salvation, that we receive as our own God and all His riches. But now a need just as great arises, namely, that we firmly keep them, and do not suffer ourselves to be torn therefrom. For as in a good government it is not only necessary that there be those who build and govern well, but also those who make defense, afford protection and maintain it firmly, so here likewise, although we have prayed for the greatest need, for the Gospel, faith, and the Holy Ghost, that He may govern us and redeem us from the power of the devil, we must also pray that His will be done. For there will be happenings quite strange if we are to abide therein, as we shall have to suffer many thrusts and blows on that account from everything that ventures to oppose and prevent the fulfilment of the two petitions that precede.

6. For no one believes how the devil opposes and resists them, and cannot suffer that any one teach or believe aright. And it hurts him beyond measure to suffer his lies and abominations, that have been honored under the most specious pretexts of the divine name, to be exposed, and to be disgraced himself, and, besides, be driven out of the heart, and suffer such a breach to be made in his kingdom. Therefore he chafes and rages as a fierce enemy with all his power and might, and marshals all his subjects, and, in addition enlists the world and our own flesh as his allies. For our flesh is in itself indolent and inclined to evil, even though we have accepted and believe the Word of God. The world, however, is perverse and wicked; this he incites against us, fans and stirs the fire, that he may hinder and drive us back, cause us to fall, and again bring us under his power. Such is all his will, mind, and thought, for which he strives day and night, and never rests a moment, employing all arts, wiles, ways, and means whichever he can invent. If we would be Christians, therefore, we must surely expect and reckon upon having the devil with all his angels and the world as our enemies, who will bring every possible misfortune and grief upon us. For where the Word of God is preached, accepted, or believed, and produces fruit, there the holy cross cannot be wanting. And let no one think that he shall have peace; but he must risk what whatever he has upon earth -- possessions, honor. house and estate, wife and children, body and life. Now, this hurts our flesh and the old Adam; for the test is to be steadfast and to suffer with patience in whatever way we are assailed, and to let go whatever is taken from us. From Luther’s Large Cat.: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” 2/4

7. From Luther’s Large Cat.: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” 3/4 Hence there is just as great need, as in all the others, that we pray without ceasing: "Dear Father, Thy will be done, not the will of the devil and of our enemies, nor of anything that would persecute and suppress Thy holy Word or hinder Thy kingdom; and grant that we may bear with patience and overcome whatever is to be endured on that account, lest our poor flesh yield or fall away from weakness or sluggishness.“ Behold, thus we have in these three petitions, in the simplest manner, the need which relates to God Himself, yet all for our sakes. For whatever we pray concerns only us, namely, as we have said, that what must be done anyway without us, may also be done in us. For as His name must be hallowed and His kingdom come without our prayer, so also His will must be done and succeed although the devil with all his adherents raise a great tumult, are angry and rage against it, and undertake to exterminate the Gospel utterly. But for our own sakes we must pray that even against their fury His will be done without hindrance also among us, that they may not be able to accomplish anything and we remain firm against all violence and persecution, and submit to such will of God.

8. From Luther’s Large Cat.: “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” 4/4 Such prayer, then, is to be our protection and defense now, is to repel and put down all that the devil, Pope, bishops, tyrants, and heretics can do against our Gospel. Let them all rage and attempt their utmost, and deliberate and resolve how they may suppress and exterminate us, that their will and counsel may prevail: over and against this one or two Christians with this petition alone shall be our wall against which they shall run and dash themselves to pieces. This consolation and confidence we have, that the will and purpose of the devil and of all our enemies shall and must fail and come to naught, however proud, secure, and powerful they know themselves to be. For if their will were not broken and hindered, the kingdom of God could not abide on earth nor His name be hallowed.

10. Prayer Journal Using your notes from this week, spend some time writing to God, prayer journal-style. A prayer journal is page/notebook that contains your: prayer requests Bible study notes verses that apply to a situation you are going through daily confessions goals revelations Reflection ideas….. (tell Jesus what you’ve found /thought about this week): As you meditate on these verses, what jumps out at you? How are the verses you read related? Do you see a consistent theme in the verses you read? Why do you think those specific words were chosen? What is God teaching you through these verses? What are you learning about God's character and nature? What are you learning about who you are in Christ? What are you learning about what God's plan for you?

11. Prayer Prep: Thy Will Be Done Give to God the “unsolvables” in your life. Then mediate on a prayer verse. In Gethsemane, even Jesus said, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” Matthew 26 Eliphaz speaks to Job: You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows. What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways. Job 22:27-28 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed it would." And his servant was healed at that very hour. Mt 8:13 David’s Prayer: I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love forever and ever. I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints. Ps 52:9 David’s Prayer: For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant. 2 Samuel 7:21 Peter and John’s praise when released from the Sanhedrin: But everything [Pilate and Herod] did was determined beforehand according to your will. Acts 4:28 New Stone Tablets: Then the LORD said: "I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the LORD, will do for you. Exodus 34:10

12. PRAYEROur will compared with Your will is never good but continually evil. Your will is always by far the best, to be most highly cherished and desired by us. Therefore, be merciful to us, dear Father, and let nothing be done according to our will. Teach us to maintain a really sane patience when our will is hindered and broken. When anyone speaks or is silent, does or leave anything undone against our will, may we not become angry or malicious. May we not curse, complain, cry out, judge, condemn, or protest. Help us humbly to yield or surrender our will to the will of our opponents and those who hinder us and who accomplish Your divine and most blessed will despite us. May we praise them and do good to them. Amen. (Luther).• As in heaven• Gracious Will• Opposers• Be Done •In our lives P raiseRepentanceAppreciationYouEveryoneResolve On earth….

15. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: Discussion Quote I liken God to a movie goer who sits and watches a movie he has seen before. He knows the characters, knows the plot, and knows the outcome, and while he may care for the characters and is upset by the choices they make or when they die, he is powerless to stop it.

Transitions from heavenly to earthly language. Axis for the prayer and into the next three petitions. Thelema: Inclination, boundry, choice, desire. What you set out to do and know will be done. Ginomai: To appear in history, to arise and appear. To become an event.

18. SS: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. What does this mean? The good and gracious will of God is done even without our prayer, but we pray in this petition that it may be done among us also. How is God's will done? God's will is done when He breaks and hinders every evil plan and purpose of the devil, the world, and our sinful nature, which do not want us to hallow God's name or let His kingdom come; and when He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith until we die. This is His good and gracious will.

B’ And do not bring us into temptation, A’ But rescue us from the evil (one).

20. M kingdom of God What is the good and gracious will of God? It is God's will that His name be kept holy and that His kingdom come, that is, that His Word be taught correctly and that sinners be brought to faith in Christ and lead godly lives. Deut. 4:2 Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. John 6:40 My Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 1 Tim. 2:4 [God] wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Thess. 4:3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified. .• Pray: O dear God and Father, You know that the world cannot completely banish Your name and destroy Your kingdom. This world is engaged day and night in malice and evil deeds. Filled with all manner of malice, they oppose Your name, Your Word, Your kingdom, and all Your children, to destroy them. Therefore, dear God and Father, convert and restrain. Convert those who are yet to know Your gracious will, that together we may be obedient to Your will and patiently and gladly endure all evil, the cross, and every tribulation. May we thereby acknowledge, test, and experience your good, gracious, and perfect will. Restrain those who would not stop their rage, fury, hatred, threatening, and evil plans. Bring their counsels, wicked plans, and practices to shame. Amen. (Martin Luther, 1484-1546).

21. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: God’s Sovereignty Peter and John’s praise when released from the Sanhedrin: But everything [Pilate and Herod] did was determined beforehand according to your will. Acts 4:28 proora/w: To decide beforehand the boundaries of behavior so as to bring about a desired, decreed, and determined outcome. But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth," 2 Thess 2:13 o)feiðlw: To owe it always, to be subjected to it. aiºreÑomai: To prefer and to choose, to elect and call to an office.

22. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: God’s Will . The three meanings of the will of God: (a) Sovereign decretive will, the will by which God brings to pass whatsoever He decrees. This is hidden to us until it happens or is told to us. (b) Preceptive will is God's revealed law or commandments, which we have the power but not the right to break. (c) Will of disposition describes God's attitude or disposition. It reveals what is pleasing to Him.

23. T Good and Gracious Will Whose will and plans are opposed to the will of God? The devil, the world, and our own sinful nature oppose the good and gracious will of God. 1 Peter 5:8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world-the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. Rom. 7:18 1 know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. Bible narratives: The devil misled humanity to sin (Gen 3:1-7). The enemies of Jesus brought about the fall of Peter (Luke 22:54-62). Achan's sinful nature led him to steal (Joshua 7:18-22). • Pray: Dear God, I am Your creature. You have sent me a cross and suffering and say to me: Suffer a little for My sake and I will reward you well. Dear God, because it is Your will I will gladly suffer. Amen. (Luther).

24. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: Why Pray at All? Martin Luther reflecting on this part of the prayer suggested that God’s will is done if we pray or even if we don’t pray. So why bother to pray? One reason, Luther argues, is that we pray in order that God’s will “may be done also among us.” In this sense when we pray “your will be done” we ask for our active involvement in the working out of God’s purposes. What the prayer is not: “Sure God, do what you need to do, I won’t get in the way,” This prayer doesn’t just mean passive agreement to God’s ways, but rather humble acknowledgment that God’s purposes are worked out amidst our active involvement.

25. W Pray that the will of God be done. Why do we pray that the will of God be done? We know that the will of God will always be done, but we want God's good and gracious will to be done in our lives. "As God's name must be hallowed and His kingdom must come even without our prayer, so must His will be done and prevail even though the devil and all his host storm and rage furiously against it in their at utterly to exterminate the Gospel. But for our own sake we must pray that His will may be done among us without hindrance, in spite of their fury, so that they may accomplish nothing and we may remain steadfast" (Large Catechism 11168). Ps. 115:3 Our God is in heaven; He does whatever pleases Him. Ps. 43:3 Send forth Your light and Your truth, let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell. Phil. 1:21 To me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Bible narrative: The helplessness of the enemies of God (Psalm 2). The conversion of Paul (Acts 9:1-19). .• Pray: Dear heavenly Father, faithful God, I pray, by all means accomplish Your good and gracious will in me, and break and hinder the evil and contrary will of the devil, the world, and my own flesh. And give me, O Father, Your Holy Spirit, that at all times I may resign myself to this Your will, that in all eternity I may praise and glorify You, O Father, for Your great faithfulness. Amen. (Zorn).

26. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: God’s Mercy As with the Lord’s Prayer an its Kingdom typology we are: Knighted by God as witnesses to the truth of His son. Serve the King as a oath of honor wrought by the blood of Christ to herald this message to the foreign world. Battle with the artillery of the King in word and deed. Protect the needy and be mindful of the needs of the lesser, both spiritually and physically.

27. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: Sacraments God’s will is inexorably bound by His word, his covenant promise, and His sacramental connection to Christ on the cross. God’s will is done when we baptize all people from every nation God’s will is done when we declare to a friend that God is a forgiver God’s will is done when we join with others for His meal which gives us of His own flesh.

28. LP. 3rd P. Will Be Done: Trinity and Will When is another important time that Jesus prays concerning God’s will? Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.” Matt. 26:39 The Spirit of God indwells the will of God into us by: Spurning active involvement in prayer Disciplining our bodies and souls for worship in church Protecting and helping the poor in spirit Declaring the truths of God as ambassadors

29. ThHow it’s done How is God's will done in our lives? God's will is done when A. He breaks and hinders the plans of the devil, the world, and our sinful nature, which try to destroy our faith in Christ Jesus; Rom. 16:20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. 2 Tim. 1:12 1 know whom I have believed, and am convinced that He is able to guard what I have en trusted to Him for that day. B. He strengthens and keeps us firm in His Word and faith and helps us lead God-pleasing lives; 1 Peter 1:5 [You] through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. Ps. 119:35 Direct me in the path of Your commands, for there I find delight. C. He supports us in all our troubles until we die. Rom. 8:28 We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. 2 Cor. 12:9 He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Bible narratives: God hindered the evil will of Joseph's brothers and kept him faithful (Gen. 50:15-21). God would not let the devil destroy Job (Job 1:1-2:6). • Pray: Grant that I may always desire what is most acceptable and most dear to You. Let Your will be mine, and let my will ever follow Yours, and agree perfectly with it. Grant that I may die to all things that are in the world, and for Your sake love to be condemned, and not known in this generation. Grant to me above all things that can be desired, to rest in You, and in You to have my heart and peace. You are the true peace of the heart, You its only rest. Amen. (Thomas `a Kempis, c. 1380-1471).

33. Exodus 33:13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you.
