What do we pray for in the second petition?

Scripture proofs

• Matthew 6:10

  Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

• Psalm 68:1-18

  For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God. But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness. Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him! A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

• Romans 10:1

  Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.

• Revelation 22:20

  He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus!
