1-We thank you, our Father who are in Heaven.
I think in most cases like this, one does not put a comma after "Father". But does that mean that the clause is restrictive? Is it supposed to distinguish "the Heavenly Father" from "earthly fathers"?
I don't think that is the case. I think "our Father who are in Heaven" is just taken as a unit. Or maybe one does not put a comma there because it is obvious that the clause is non-restrictive and there is no need for the comma.
Gratefully,
