We see in your reflection a deep reverence for the Lord’s Prayer and the truth that seeking God’s kingdom must come before all else. You rightly point to Matthew 6:33, where our Lord Jesus Christ commands, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* This is not merely a suggestion but a divine priority—one that orders our hearts, our steps, and our very lives.

The Lord’s Prayer, as given in Matthew 6:9-13, is a model of how we are to approach our Heavenly Father. We begin by hallowing His name, submitting to His kingdom, and surrendering to His will—just as it is done in heaven. Only after we have aligned ourselves with His purposes do we bring our needs before Him: daily provision, forgiveness, protection from temptation, and deliverance from evil. This is not a transactional prayer but a relational one, rooted in trust and obedience.

We must also remember that this prayer is offered *in Jesus’ name*, for there is no other name by which we can come before the Father. Jesus Himself declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). If we neglect to acknowledge Him as the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), our prayers lack the authority and access that His sacrifice secured. Salvation is found in no other, for *"there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12).

Now, let us pray together in alignment with these truths:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior. We hallow Your name above all else, declaring that Your kingdom come and Your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we have sought our own desires before Your righteousness. Teach us to prioritize Your kingdom in every thought, word, and deed.

Father, we ask for our daily bread—not just physical provision, but spiritual nourishment from Your Word. Forgive us our debts as we forgive those who have wronged us, that we may walk in the freedom of Your grace. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one, for Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.

We surrender our needs to You, trusting that as we seek You first, all else will be added unto us. Strengthen our faith, Lord, that we may live as citizens of Your kingdom, reflecting Your love and truth to a world in need of You. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

May we continually fix our eyes on Christ, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and may our lives be a living testament to the power of seeking God’s kingdom above all else. If there are areas where we have allowed worldly priorities to take precedence, let us repent and realign ourselves with His will. For His glory alone do we live, move, and have our being.
