We lift our hearts together in gratitude for the reminder of how to approach our Heavenly Father in prayer, as our Lord Jesus Christ taught us in Matthew 6:9-13. This model prayer is a beautiful blueprint, guiding us to first seek God’s glory, His kingdom, and His will before presenting our own needs. It is a humbling truth that when we prioritize His name being honored and His kingdom coming, our daily provisions, forgiveness, and protection from evil are already accounted for in His perfect plan.

The passage you referenced, 1 John 7:18, appears to contain a typographical error, as 1 John only has 5 chapters. However, we believe you may be pointing us toward 1 John 5:18, which declares, "We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him." This verse reminds us of the victory we have in Christ and the protection we receive when we abide in Him. It is a powerful truth that as children of God, we are kept by His power, and the evil one cannot ultimately harm us when we walk in obedience to His Word.

We also hold fast to Matthew 6:33, which calls us to "seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." This is not a promise of material wealth or ease, but a assurance that God will provide what we truly need as we align our lives with His purposes. When we seek Him above all else, He faithfully meets our needs according to His riches in glory.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of praise, acknowledging that You alone are worthy of all honor and glory. Your name is holy, and we long to see Your kingdom come and Your will be done in our lives and in this world, just as it is in heaven. Father, we confess that too often we rush into our requests without first surrendering to Your will. Forgive us for the times we have sought our own desires above Your purposes. Today, we choose to lay down our agendas and ask that Your kingdom would reign in our hearts, our homes, and our communities.

Lord, we trust in Your provision. You know our needs before we even ask, and we believe that as we seek You first, You will supply all that we require. Help us to walk in faith, not anxiety, knowing that You are our Provider. Teach us to be content in every circumstance, whether in plenty or in want, for we know that our true treasure is in heaven.

Father, we also ask for Your forgiveness for our sins, just as we forgive those who have wronged us. Search our hearts and reveal any bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness that may be hindering our relationship with You. Cleanse us and empower us to extend the same grace to others that You have so freely given to us.

Lead us not into temptation, Lord, but deliver us from the schemes of the evil one. Strengthen us to stand firm against sin and to resist the devil, knowing that he must flee when we submit to You. Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we may walk in purity and holiness.

We declare that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Nothing compares to You, and we surrender our lives anew to Your lordship. May our lives bring You honor and may Your name be exalted in all the earth. We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, Amen.

To anyone reading this who may not yet know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, we want to share the truth that salvation is found in no one else. Acts 4:12 tells us, "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!" Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father, and it is only through faith in Him that we can be forgiven and receive eternal life. If you have not yet placed your trust in Jesus, we encourage you to turn to Him today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). This is the most important decision you will ever make, and we pray that the Holy Spirit would draw you to Himself even now.

Thank you for sharing this prayer with us. There is something grounding about coming back to the words Jesus gave us, starting not with our own list of needs but with the Father’s glory and His kingdom. When we begin there, everything else finds its proper place. So we simply want to encourage you to keep praying in this way, not just with the words but with a heart that lingers on each phrase. Perhaps tomorrow morning, sit with “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” and ask quietly, Lord, where is my life not yet reflecting heaven’s order? Then later in the week, pause over “forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors” and let it search your heart. This prayer is meant to be lived, not just recited, and we believe God meets us in that unhurried space.

We are praying with you now.

Our Father, we join in honoring Your name and seeking Your kingdom above all else. Thank You for the daily bread You faithfully provide and for the forgiveness we have in Christ. Help us to extend that same forgiveness freely. Lead us away from temptation and deliver us from every evil that threatens to pull us from You. May the peace of Your kingdom, power, and glory rest upon us today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The prayer you have set forth, putting God’s glory first and then daily needs, is the very order our Lord taught. Yet let us come to the great need beneath all needs, the soul’s deliverance from the pit. In all that God does, He acts from good reasons, and He has found a ransom for the sinner. Nobody would have thought of a way of deliverance through a ransom if God had not invented it. It is a gift of divine love, and the voice comes from the excellent glory, “Deliver him from going down to the Pit.” This is your first and deepest provision, far above daily bread, a full, eternal forgiveness. The Lord has made a deed of pardon, and it is continuous, divine, for He blots out transgressions for His own sake.

Yet being forgiven, you are also being delivered from the power of darkness. This is as much the work of God as deliverance from guilt. Your plea for deliverance from evil is met in the God who breaks the fascinations of sin and snatches you from old habits and the archers of temptation. When the enemy shoots his sharpest arrow, the suggestion that God has forsaken you, remember, your Lord keeps back your soul from the Pit. His chastening is not punishment; it is a father’s hand that makes the sharpest smart profitable. Troubles do not spring from the dust; the Lord Himself kindles the furnace and sits as a Refiner. It is hopeful when all our ills lie within the fence of Omnipotent overruling.

If He has delivered you from the pit and from darkness, will He not also give you bread and water? The God who gave His dear Son to be your ransom will certainly help in daily troubles. You ask for forgiveness as you forgive your debtors, this is the law of grace. Look to your heavenly Father altogether and alone for sanctification and supply. The first day you came to Jesus, you were made rich from His flock, His threshing floor, His winepress. Now, live out the believer’s conduct: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” Let that gratitude sing out against despair. Because He has said, “Deliver him,” you are saved from yourself, from the devil, from evil company. The ransom is found, the forgiveness is yours, the kingdom and power and glory are His forever. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

You have set the order of prayer rightly: first the Father’s glory and His kingdom, then our needs. This is the pattern our Lord gave, and it guards us against turning prayer into a mere list of wants. When you pray for God’s name to be honored and His kingdom to come, you submit your will to His, and you learn to hold all earthly things loosely. It is the best defense against that anxious care which chokes out the word. Do not be overly thoughtful about your own interests, but leave them to God. For if you are thoughtful as a human, you will achieve little; but if God provides, He provides as God. When you seek first His kingdom, the daily bread is added not as a luxury but as true provision.

Yet many ask for daily bread while lighting up the flame of desire with extravagant cares. To make provision for the flesh to fulfill its lusts is to go beyond necessity. Use wine for a weak stomach, not for drunkenness. Eat for health, not for gluttony. Dress to cover the body, not for wanton display. Then your request for bread is genuine, not a cover for greed or indulgence. The present life is a sleep, and its riches are like dreams that vanish at dawn. But the soul that clings to heavenly things wakes to lasting treasure.

When you pray for forgiveness, be careful not to let the words become a hollow routine. How can you ask pardon from God if you take no account of your sins? Tell your offenses in particular, not that God needs to learn them, but that you may know what you are forgiven for, and so become grateful to the Benefactor. Recall the greatness of the gift: you who were sitting in darkness, at enmity, alienated, and lost, have been enlightened and counted worthy of the Spirit, adoption, and the kingdom. Baptism washed away those sins and brought deliverance from vengeance. Should you keep sinning carelessly after so great a mercy?

The plea for deliverance from temptation and evil is a cry to be preserved unto that kingdom. To hate your life in this world is to keep it for eternal life. This is not a gloomy hatred of existence, but a refusal to love sin more than the Savior. The enemy prowls, and the world pulls, but the One who has promised is faithful. Trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it.

Do not be like those who claim virtue for show, who can appear orderly yet lack the inner fire of repentance and faith. There may be some who live upright lives without knowing Christ, but how rarely does any bear the full violence of passions without the promise of the kingdom or the threat of hell? You, however, bear the name of Christ. Let your prayer rise not as pretty words but as a sacrifice from a watchful heart. Let the Father’s glory be your first love, and your very life will become a daily Amen to this prayer.
