Righteous prayer focuses on the praise of the Father, acknowledging his kingdom, power, and glory, and recognizing our dependence on him for all things. The Lord's Prayer concludes with a doxology, a form of words that offers praise to God for his glory, especially his work of creation and redemption. This doxology is a threefold ascription of praise to the Father, recalling and building upon the second petition where we pray for the kingdom to come. It acknowledges the Father's kingdom has come and is coming in the person and work of Jesus Christ, and that the Father rightfully and truly possesses his kingdom, and will possess his royal divine rule forever and ever.

The Lord's Prayer focuses on seven major themes, all of which center on God the Father, and the fifth petition shows us that righteous prayer focuses on the forgiveness of the Father.
