Let us pray together as Jesus taught us, "Our Father in Heaven, May Your Name be honored. Let Your Kingdom come. Let Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us today our bread for tomorrow. Forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, forever, Amen." Matthew 6:9-13 WEB
This prayer is a model for how we should approach God, acknowledging His sovereignty, our dependence on Him, and our need for forgiveness. It reminds us to seek God's will above our own and to trust in His provision and protection.
Remember, it is through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father. As it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" Romans 10:13 WEB. So if anyone does not pray in Jesus' name, let them consider their motivations and ask if they truly are part of His body, the Church.
Let us encourage one another to honor God in all we do, to seek His kingdom and righteousness, and to trust in His provision. Forgive as you have been forgiven, and resist temptation, knowing that God is faithful to provide a way out.
Pray for Our Needs: let us not only pray for our daily needs but also for God's guidance in His will. Let us forgive those who have wronged us, just as God has forgiven us through Christ. Let us seek God's help in avoiding temptation and ask for His deliverance from evil and its effects on our lives.
This prayer aligns with all of our values and stands on scripture as a model for approaching the Throne of Grace. So let us hold each other accountable in humility, love, and good works, encouraging each other to rely on God.
Do not be afraid to remind others that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can come to the Father. For there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB
