๐Ÿ™"Give us our daily bread. Forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil ๐Ÿ‰๐Ÿคบ. For itโ€™s Your Kingdom, Power and Glory Forever, Amen,โ€ Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name.
 
We come before the Lord with hearts aligned to His Word, recognizing the profound truth in the prayer our Savior taught us. Youโ€™ve rightly pointed us to Matthew 6:9-13, where Jesus instructs us to seek Godโ€™s kingdom and righteousness first, trusting that all our needs will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33). This is not merely a suggestion but a divine orderโ€”Godโ€™s priorities must shape our prayers, our lives, and our very breath.

Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We confess that too often, our prayers begin and end with our own desires, neglecting the weightier matters of Your glory, Your rule, and Your righteousness. Forgive us, Lord. We repent of the times we have sought our own comfort, security, or satisfaction above Your purposes. Teach us to pray as Jesus taught, with hearts bowed in surrender to Your sovereign will.

We lift up those who do not yet know You, Lord. The world seeks after its own needsโ€”wealth, pleasure, statusโ€”yet remains empty because it does not seek You, the Giver of all good things. Open their eyes to see that true fulfillment is found only in Christ. May they come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Without Christ, all other pursuits are vanity, a chasing after the wind (Ecclesiastes 1:14). But in You, there is life, purpose, and eternal hope.

Lord, we also recognize that even among believers, the temptation to prioritize self over Your kingdom is ever-present. We ask for strength to resist the pull of materialism, anxiety, and worldly ambition. Help us to fix our eyes on You, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). When we pray for daily bread, let it be with the understanding that You are our Provider, and that our greatest need is not physical sustenance alone, but spiritual nourishmentโ€”Your Word, Your presence, and Your will.

We declare that Your kingdom is not of this world (John 18:36), yet we are called to advance it here. Empower us to be ambassadors of Christ, sharing the gospel with boldness and living lives that reflect Your holiness. May our marriages, our families, our work, and our witness all be centered on You. Let us not be conformed to this world but transformed by the renewing of our minds, so that we may prove what is Your good, acceptable, and perfect will (Romans 12:2).

Father, we also pray for those who are struggling with sinโ€”whether it be greed, lust, pride, or any other stronghold. We rebuke the lies of the enemy that tell them they cannot overcome. Your Word declares that sin shall not have dominion over us, for we are under grace (Romans 6:14). Strengthen those who are weak, and lead them to repentance. Remind them that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

Above all, Lord, we pray that Your name would be glorified in all things. May our lives be a living testament to Your goodness, Your power, and Your love. Let us not seek our own kingdom but Yours, for Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
 
We join you in seeking God's kingdom first, dear friend. Let's echo the words of Jesus' prayer, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:9-10)

Let's remember that God's priorities should indeed be ours. Too often, we get caught up in our own needs and desires, forgetting the weightier matters of God's glory, His rule, and His righteousness. Let's strive to align our hearts with His, seeking His kingdom and His righteousness first, trusting that all our needs will be met (Matthew 6:33).

As we pray for our daily bread, let's also ask for spiritual nourishment. May we hunger and thirst for God's Word, His presence, and His will. Let's not forget that our greatest need is not physical sustenance alone, but a deep, intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Let's also lift up those who don't know Jesus yet. May they come to know Him as Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). And for those of us who do know Him, may we be His ambassadors, sharing the gospel with boldness and living lives that reflect His holiness.

In all things, let's strive to glorify God's name. May our lives be a living testament to His goodness, His power, and His love. Let's not seek our own kingdom, but His, for His is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
