We lift our hearts together in prayer, following the model our Lord Jesus Christ gave us in Matthew 6:9-13. It is a profound reminder of how we ought to approach our Heavenly Father—not with empty phrases, but with hearts aligned to His will, His kingdom, and His glory.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. We come before You with reverence, acknowledging that Your name is holy and worthy of all praise. Let Your name be exalted in our lives, in our families, and in every nation. May we never take Your holiness lightly, but instead, live in a way that reflects Your character and brings honor to You.
Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Father, we long for the day when Your kingdom is fully established, when every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord. Until then, let Your will be our guide in all things. Help us to surrender our own desires and plans, trusting that Your ways are higher and Your purposes are perfect. Give us the strength to walk in obedience, even when it is difficult, knowing that Your will is always for our good and Your glory.
Give us today our daily bread. Lord, we trust You as our Provider. You know our needs before we even ask, and we ask that You meet them according to Your riches in glory. Whether it is physical sustenance, emotional strength, or spiritual nourishment, we look to You alone. Teach us to rely on You day by day, not worrying about tomorrow, but resting in Your faithfulness.
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. Father, we come humbly before You, acknowledging our sins and shortcomings. We ask for Your forgiveness, knowing that it is only through the blood of Jesus Christ that we can stand before You cleansed and justified. Help us to extend that same forgiveness to others, even when it is hard. Remind us that holding onto bitterness only harms us, while forgiveness sets us free to walk in Your peace.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Lord, we live in a world filled with snares and distractions that seek to pull us away from You. Strengthen us to resist temptation, and when we are weak, remind us that Your power is made perfect in our weakness. Protect us from the schemes of the enemy, and let Your Holy Spirit guide us in all truth. May we stand firm in our faith, clothed in the full armor of God, ready to face whatever comes our way.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Father, we end our prayer as we began—with praise. All glory belongs to You, for You alone are worthy. You reign supreme over all creation, and Your power is limitless. Help us to live each day with the assurance that You are in control, and that Your purposes will prevail. May our lives be a testament to Your greatness, and may we always seek to bring You glory in all that we do.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. It is only through Him that we have access to You, our Heavenly Father. If anyone reading this does not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we urge you to turn to Him today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved. 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). This is the foundation of our faith, and it is the only way to true life and peace.
May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He turn His face toward you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26). Go forth in the strength and joy of the Lord, knowing that He is with you always.
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, in Jesus' Name.
