We see your heart in aligning prayer with the Lord’s pattern in Scripture, and we rejoice that you begin with the glory of the Father and the honor of His name. This is the right foundation, seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, trusting that all else will be added in due time (Matthew 6:33). The structure you’ve shared from the Lord’s Prayer is a beautiful model, and we affirm its truth: worship must come before petition, and surrender to God’s will must precede our requests.

Yet we must gently address a concern in your reference to 1 John 7:18, for no such verse exists in Scripture. It appears there may be a typographical error, as 1 John 5:18 speaks of the one born of God being kept safe from the evil one, which aligns with the protection we seek in prayer. Let us be careful in handling God’s Word, for Scripture is our sure foundation, and even small errors can lead us astray (2 Timothy 2:15). We encourage you to double-check references to ensure they accurately reflect God’s truth.

Now, let us lift these matters before the Lord together, praying as you have modeled, beginning with His glory and then bringing our needs before Him:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we may approach Your throne (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). You alone are holy, and Your name is worthy of all honor and praise. We long for Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Father, we surrender our desires, our plans, and our very lives to You, trusting that Your ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Lord, we ask for Your provision, our daily bread, not just for physical needs, but for spiritual nourishment, wisdom, and the strength to walk in Your ways. Forgive us, Father, for the times we have fallen short, and help us to extend that same forgiveness to those who have wronged us, just as You have forgiven us through Christ (Ephesians 4:32). Lead us away from temptation, and deliver us from the schemes of the evil one, for we know that greater are You who are in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

Father, we recognize that all things belong to You, the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. We ask that You would guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, that we may walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have placed on our lives (Philippians 4:7, Ephesians 4:1). Help us to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31). May our relationships reflect Your love and holiness, and may our pursuit of marriage, if that is Your will for us, be rooted in Your truth, with the goal of glorifying You in a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22-33).

Lord, if there are areas in our lives where we have strayed from Your design, whether in thought, word, or deed, we repent and ask for Your cleansing and renewal (1 John 1:9). Strengthen us to walk in purity, to honor You in all our relationships, and to flee from sexual immorality, for our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If we are single, help us to use this season to grow in intimacy with You and to serve Your kingdom with undivided devotion (1 Corinthians 7:32-35). If we are married, help us to love and cherish our spouses as Christ loves the Church, laying down our lives for one another (Ephesians 5:25).

Father, we also lift up those who may be struggling with loneliness, temptation, or confusion in their relationships. Give them wisdom and discernment to seek godly counsel and to align their desires with Your Word. Protect them from the lies of the enemy, who seeks to distort Your design for love, marriage, and sexuality. Remind them that their identity is found in Christ alone, and that true fulfillment comes from walking in obedience to You (Colossians 2:10).

We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). May Your will be done in our lives, and may Your name be glorified in all we do. Amen.

We add our voices to yours in this prayer. It’s a relief, isn’t it, to know we don’t have to figure out the perfect words, Jesus gave us this sturdy, simple frame. Starting with our Father’s honor and His kingdom puts everything else in its proper place. We’ve found that when we pray this way, it quiets the frantic scrambling for tomorrow’s bread or today’s control. His glory becomes our true north, and the needs that follow, provision, forgiveness, protection, they come into view not as weights we carry but as trusts we hand to a Father who already knows what we need before we ask.

This prayer isn’t a one-time offering; it’s a daily rhythm that can hold you steady in calm and storm alike. As you keep living into these words, we hope you sense His nearness in the ordinary moments, the bread on your table, the relationships you navigate, the unseen ways He shields you. You’re not alone in this. We’re grateful to stand with you in it.

Father, yours is the name we hallow and the kingdom we seek. Do your will in us. Give us today what we need, forgive us as we forgive, lead us in your paths, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You have laid hold of the very pattern of prayer given by our Lord, and in setting the Father’s glory first you have begun at the true starting-place. When the heart cries, “Your Name be honored! Your kingdom come! Your will be done,” it is the Spirit’s own intercession, and you may be sure that such a petition is itself a daily benefit loaded upon you by the God of your salvation. Has He not promised that all these things shall be added unto you? He who daily loads you with benefits will not withhold your daily bread, nor fail in any needed provision, for if He delivered up His Son to put away your sin, how shall He not with Him freely give you all things?

As you plead, “Forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors,” rest in this: there is forgiveness with Him, a full, eternal forgiveness for Christ’s sake. The Lord’s chastisement is not punishment due to a judge, but loving correction from a Father; your sin is removed as far as the east is from the west. And seeing you have tasted this divine pardon, let it melt your heart toward all who have wronged you, so that the mercy you have received flows freely through you to others.

When you cry, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” you are asking what only omnipotent grace can perform. Yet He has already delivered you from the power of darkness and translated you into the kingdom of His dear Son. The same hand that snatched you from the pit will keep you from falling. The Lord has chastened you sorely at times, but He has not given you over to death; therefore live and declare the works of the Lord. Every deliverance from the Evil One, every rescue from the jaw of the lion, calls for a song of gratitude.

Go on praying after this manner, for the kingdom, the power, and the glory belong to Him forever. Your daily troubles are known to Him, and He will bring you through them all until you see His face in peace. Amen, in Jesus’ name.

Praying for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Do you see how the very prayer you have laid out condemns a heart that holds onto bitterness? When you say, "Our Father," you bind yourself to every other person who can call God by that name. You cannot sever the brotherhood and expect the Father to hear you. You ask that His will be done and His kingdom come, yet you harbor a kingdom of resentment within your own soul. That is a kingdom at war with the one you profess to seek.

The Lord placed forgiveness at the very center of this prayer, after the petition for daily bread. He ties your request for mercy directly to the mercy you show. Consider the terrible risk you take when you pray, "Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." Those words are either your greatest comfort or your own self-imposed condemnation. If you forgive, you do not merely ask for a favor; you demand forgiveness from God as a debt He Himself has promised to pay. But if you do not forgive, you have boldly asked Him to withhold His mercy, just as you withhold your own. The measure you use will be measured back to you. You shut the door of heaven with your own hands and then wonder why your prayers seem empty.

And notice what the prayer asks for. It does not lead you to seek riches or earthly comfort. Even the request for bread is for what is needed, the daily sustenance, not a storehouse of luxuries. The whole prayer turns your soul toward the heavenly and the spiritual. How then can you come and pray for those spiritual blessings, the hallowing of God’s name, the coming of His kingdom, while your mind is still earthbound, clutching grievances like a miser clutches gold? The prayer itself becomes a "vain repetition" if your tongue speaks the words but your heart refuses the sacrifice God demands. That sacrifice is a humble and a forgiving spirit.

So turn your mind to the great debt you have been forgiven. Consider the ten thousand talents the Master has cancelled for you, and then look at the hundred pence your brother owes you. Do not say he has done you a great wrong. The greater the wrong you forgive, the brighter your crown and the more complete your imitation of God. You will find no easier path to blot out your own sins than by wiping away the memory of wrongs done against you. Do not merely say you forgive, but let not a single vestige of anger remain. The devil knows how to use the memory of an old injury to reignite the flame, so put it to death entirely. Then, when you stand to pray, your conscience will be clear, the Spirit will be fervent within you, and you can call upon the Father with the true confidence of a child who is living in the peace of his household.
