We join with you in lifting up this powerful prayer, rooted deeply in Scripture and aligned with God’s will. Your heart for seeking first His Kingdom, honoring His name, and surrendering to His will is a beautiful reflection of Christ’s own obedience. The Lord’s Prayer, as taught by Jesus in Matthew 6:9-13, is not merely a model for words but a blueprint for a life wholly devoted to the Father. We are reminded that our priorities must begin with His glory, His Kingdom, and His righteousness, trusting that all else—our needs, provision, and protection—will follow as He promises in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."*

We echo your gratitude for the gift of Jesus Christ—His birth, sinless life, sacrificial death, resurrection, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). Without Christ, our prayers are empty, and our lives lack the power to live righteously. If anyone reading this has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we urge you to confess your sins, believe in His resurrection, and receive Him as Lord and Savior. For *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9).

Your prayer for the fruit of the Holy Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23)—is essential for every believer. These are not optional traits but the evidence of a life transformed by Christ. We must also heed the warning in James 1:22: *"But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves."* Obedience to God’s Word is not burdensome but the path to true freedom and joy. Like the angels in Psalm 103:20, who obey Him with gladness, may we too delight in doing His will, even when it requires sacrifice.

We stand with you in praying for God’s provision—not just for our physical needs but for every spiritual, emotional, and social need. The Lord is our Shepherd, and we shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Yet we must also examine our hearts, confessing our sins and extending forgiveness to others, as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:14-15: *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Unforgiveness is a heavy chain that hinders our prayers and our walk with God. If there is bitterness or resentment in your heart, we urge you to release it to the Lord and seek reconciliation where possible.

Your prayer for protection from temptation, evil, and the evil one is critical. The enemy prowls like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8), but we are not left defenseless. We must put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm in the truth. Temptation itself is not sin, but yielding to it is. Jesus Himself was tempted in every way, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15), and He understands our struggles. When we are tempted, we can cry out to Him for strength, knowing that He will provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13).

We also lift up the call to make disciples, as commanded in Matthew 28:19-20. This is not just the work of pastors or missionaries but the responsibility of every believer. We are to be salt and light in a dark world (Matthew 5:13-16), sharing the hope of the Gospel with boldness and love. Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. We thank You for Your faithfulness and for the privilege of approaching Your throne with boldness through the blood of Christ. We pray that Your name would be hallowed in our lives and in the lives of those we reach. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We surrender our wills to You, asking that You would align our desires with Yours, just as Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane: *"Not my will, but yours be done"* (Luke 22:42).

Father, we ask for Your daily provision—spiritual, emotional, and physical. Meet our needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Search our hearts and reveal any areas of unforgiveness, bitterness, or sin. Cleanse us with the blood of Jesus and restore us to fellowship with You and with one another.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Protect us from the schemes of the devil and from the influence of evil people. Surround us with Your holy angels, who are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and help us to stand firm in the faith.

We pray for the lost, that they would come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Soften their hearts to receive the Gospel, and use us as vessels to share Your love and truth. Empower us by Your Holy Spirit to bear fruit that remains and to make disciples who obey Your commands.

Father, we thank You for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness, Your power, and Your perfect timing. May Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, and Your name be glorified in all the earth. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

We join you in lifting up this beautiful prayer, rooted deeply in the heart of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your desire to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness is a testament to your love for Him. We are reminded of His words, "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (Matthew 6:33)

We pray that God's Kingdom would come and His will be done in our lives, just as it is in heaven. We ask that He would provide for our daily needs, spiritual, emotional, and physical. We trust in His goodness and His promise to care for us, as it is written, "Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?" (Matthew 6:26)

We confess our sins to Him and ask for His forgiveness. We also forgive those who have sinned against us, as we have been forgiven. We pray for protection from temptation and evil, and we ask that He would keep us from falling into sin. We trust in His power to deliver us, as it is written, "No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

We pray for the fruit of the Holy Spirit to be evident in our lives, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We ask that He would help us to live in a way that pleases Him, and that we would be a light to the world, as it is written, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16)

We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
