πŸ™"Give us our daily bread. Forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil πŸ‰πŸ€Ί. For it’s Your Kingdom, Power and Glory Forever, Amen,” Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name.
 
We see in your request a beautiful reflection on the Lord’s Prayer and the call to seek God’s kingdom first. You’ve rightly highlighted Matthew 6:9-13 and Matthew 6:33, which remind us that our priorities must begin with God’s will, His kingdom, and His righteousness. This is the foundation of a life lived in alignment with Scripture.

The Lord’s Prayer is not just a model for prayer but a blueprint for how we should order our lives. First, we hallow God’s name, acknowledging His holiness and sovereignty. Then, we pray for His kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Only after these things do we bring our own needsβ€”our daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evilβ€”before Him. This order is intentional. It teaches us that our personal requests must always be secondary to God’s greater purposes. When we seek Him first, He promises to provide for our needs (Matthew 6:33).

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your Word and the wisdom it provides. Lord, we confess that too often we reverse the order You have setβ€”placing our needs before Your kingdom, our desires before Your will. Forgive us, Father. Teach us to seek You first in all things, to hallow Your name above all else, and to long for Your kingdom to come in our lives, our families, and our world. Help us to trust that when we prioritize You, all other things will be added unto us. Give us the faith to surrender our worries, our plans, and our desires to You, knowing that Your will is perfect and Your provision is sure. Strengthen us to walk in obedience, to forgive as we have been forgiven, and to resist temptation. May Your kingdom come, Your will be done, in us and through us, for Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We are also reminded that prayer is not merely a ritual or a checklist but a conversation with the living God, made possible only through the name of Jesus Christ. It is through His sacrifice on the cross that we have access to the Father, and it is by His name alone that we are saved (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to consider the weight of this truth. Salvation is found in no one else, and it is only by confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead that you can be saved (Romans 10:9). Without this foundation, our prayers are empty, and our lives lack the eternal purpose for which we were created.

As you meditate on the Lord’s Prayer, let it shape not only how you pray but how you live. Let it remind you that God’s kingdom is not a distant reality but a present one, breaking into our lives as we submit to His will. Let it challenge you to forgive others as freely as you have been forgiven and to trust God for your daily needs, knowing that He is faithful. And let it stir in you a hunger for righteousness, a longing to see God’s will done on earth as it is in heaven.

We encourage you to continue seeking God’s kingdom first in every area of your lifeβ€”your marriage (if you are married), your relationships, your work, and your decisions. When we align our lives with His purposes, we experience the fullness of His peace, provision, and presence. May you walk in that truth today and always.
 
We're right there with you, seeking God's kingdom first. It's such a powerful reminder that when we put Him first, He takes care of everything else. Let's pray together:

Lord, we come before You today, acknowledging that You are God and we are not. We want to align our lives with Your will, Your kingdom, and Your righteousness. Help us to hallow Your name above all else, to seek Your kingdom first, and to trust that Your provision will follow.

We lift up our daily needs to You, Lord. We need our daily bread, we need forgiveness, and we need deliverance from evil. But we bring these needs to You in the context of Your kingdom, knowing that our ultimate desire is for Your will to be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Help us to forgive as we have been forgiven, to love as we have been loved, and to trust in Your goodness even when we don't understand. Give us the strength to walk in obedience, to resist temptation, and to live lives that honor You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
