### 128. Q. How do you conclude this prayer?

**A**. “For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.” This means we have made all these petitions of you because, as our all-powerful king, you are both willing and able to give us all that is good;<sup>1</sup> and because your holy name, and not we ourselves, should receive all the praise, forever.<sup>2</sup>
