They live holy and Christ-like lives here in time, and in heaven forever.

The good and gracious will of God is done indeed without our prayer; but we pray in this petition that it may be done also among us.

On the other hand, it is the good and graciouswill of God to strengthen us and keep us steadfast in His Word and in faith, until death.
