The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer, but the special rule of direction is that prayer, which Christ taught His disciples, commonly called the Lords Prayer. (Matt. 6:9-13; 2 Tim. 3:16,17) Q. 111. What does the preface of the Lords Prayer teach us? A. The preface of the Lords Prayer, which is, Our Father, which art in heaven, teaches us to draw near to God, with all holy reverence and confidence, as children to a father, able and ready to help us, and that we should pray with and for others. (Matt. 6:9; Luke 11:13; Rom. 8:15; Acts 12:5; 1 Tim. 2:1-3) Q. 112. What do we pray for in the first petition? A. In the first petition, which is Hallowed be thy name, we pray that God would enable us and others to glorify Him in all that whereby He makes Himself known, and that He would dispose all things to His own glory
