Chapter 35 — Part IV: Prayer — The First Petition: Hallowed Be Thy Name
Section 1. Why This Petition Is Placed First — What we are to ask of God and in what order, the Master and Lord of all has Himself taught and commanded. For prayer is the ambassador and interpreter of our thoughts and desires; and consequently we pray well and properly when the order of our petitions follows the order in which the things sought are desirable.
