Jesus was no Calvinist, and neither was Hooker: No one prays for God's will to be done, if it already is and ever will be


Our Saviour himself, being to set down the perfect idea of that which we are to pray and wish for on earth, did not teach to pray or wish for more than only that here it might be with us, as with them it is in heaven.
 
-- Richard Hooker
 
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς). 
 
-- Matthew 6:10
