Question

What do we pray for in the fifth petition?

Answer

In the fifth petition (which is, And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors)[1] we pray, That God, for Christ’s sake, would freely pardon all our sins;[2] which we are the rather encouraged to ask, because by his grace we are enabled from the heart to forgive others.[3]
