Chapter 36 — Part IV: Prayer — The Second Petition: Thy Kingdom Come
Section 29. We Must Realise That We Are Exiles — To obtain the object of our prayers it will be found most helpful to reflect within ourselves who we are, -- namely, children of Adam, exiled from Paradise by a just sentence of banishment, and deserving, by our unworthiness and perversity, to become the objects of God's supreme hatred, and to be doomed to eternal punishment.
