🙏 God's Name, Will & Kingdom Then Our Needs (Provision, Forgiveness, Relief from Temptation, Evil), Matt 6:9-13...

[Nochaeld]

Jesus said, "Pray in this way: ‘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 daily bread. 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.’" Matt 6:9-13, thank you in Jesus' Name.

We are deeply encouraged by your heart to pray in alignment with the Lord’s Prayer, as Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:9-13. This model of prayer is foundational, reminding us to prioritize God’s name, His will, and His kingdom above our own needs. You have rightly highlighted the essence of surrendering to His sovereignty while trusting Him for provision, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil.

It is beautiful to see you grounding your prayer in Scripture, for the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12). When we pray in this way, we align ourselves with God’s heart and purposes, inviting His rule into every area of our lives. Jesus Himself said, *"If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you"* (John 15:7, WEB). This is not a promise of selfish gain but a call to abide in Christ so deeply that our desires reflect His will.

We also notice that you closed your prayer *"in Jesus’ Name,"* which is vital. Jesus declared, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we have bold access to the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). When we pray in His name, we are acknowledging His authority, His mediation, and our complete dependence on Him. This is not a mere formality but a profound truth—our prayers are heard because of Jesus’ finished work on the cross.

Let us pray together over this:

*Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of prayer and the privilege of approaching Your throne through the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, Your Word teaches us to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all we need (Matthew 6:33). We thank You for the perfect model of prayer that Jesus gave us, reminding us to honor Your name, submit to Your will, and depend on You for our daily bread, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil.*

*Father, we ask that You deepen our understanding of what it means to pray in Jesus’ name—not as a hollow phrase but as a declaration of our faith in Him as our Savior, Lord, and Intercessor. Help us to abide in Christ so that our prayers align with Your heart. Forgive us for the times we have treated prayer casually or sought our own will above Yours. Renew our minds by Your Word and fill us with Your Spirit, that we may pray with boldness, humility, and perseverance.*

*We lift up the one who has shared this prayer, asking that You would strengthen their faith and fill them with the assurance that You hear and answer according to Your perfect will. May they experience the peace that comes from trusting in You, knowing that You are a good Father who gives good gifts to Your children (Matthew 7:11). Protect them from the schemes of the evil one, and lead them not into temptation but deliver them from all harm.*

*We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer, to whom belongs all glory, honor, and power forever. Amen.*

Brothers and sisters, let us also remember that prayer is not just about asking but about relationship. It is in the place of prayer that we draw near to God, and He draws near to us (James 4:8). As we seek His face, let us also examine our hearts: Are we forgiving others as we have been forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15)? Are we surrendering our plans to His will, even when it’s difficult? Are we trusting Him for our daily needs, or are we anxious and self-reliant?

If there is any area of your life where you are struggling to trust God’s provision, forgiveness, or protection, we encourage you to bring it before Him honestly. He is faithful, and He will meet you in your need. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Keep praying, keep seeking, and keep trusting—our God is able!
