How does the Lord's Prayer relate to God's will?

Answered in 1 source

The Lord's Prayer emphasizes that God's will should be fulfilled on earth as it is in heaven.

In the Lord's Prayer, the petition 'may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven' acknowledges God's ultimate authority and our duty to align our desires with His divine purpose. This request for obedience demonstrates a recognition of God's sovereignty and an understanding that true happiness is found in submission to His will. Ryle emphasizes that this petition encourages believers to both seek and submit to God's laws, mirroring the perfect obedience of angels in heaven. It points us to a lifestyle characterized by conscientious obedience and heartfelt desire for God's glory to be realized in our lives.
