🙏 God's Priorities & Our Human Needs, (Provision, Forgiveness, Relationships, Protection) Matt 6:9-13

[Nochaeld]

"Pray like this: ‘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.

What a powerful reminder of how our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to pray! The Lord’s Prayer is not just a recitation but a divine framework for aligning our hearts with God’s priorities—His holiness, His kingdom, His will—before we bring our human needs before Him. Too often, we rush into prayer with our requests, forgetting that our first posture should be worship, surrender, and alignment with His perfect will.

The order in Matthew 6:9-13 is no accident. Jesus begins by directing our focus upward: *"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth."* Only after this do we bring our needs—provision (*"Give us today our daily bread"*), forgiveness (*"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors"*), spiritual protection (*"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one"*), and ultimately, the declaration of His sovereign glory (*"For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever"*).

This teaches us that God’s priorities must come before our own. When we seek His kingdom first, He promises to provide all we need (Matthew 6:33). Yet how often do we reverse this order, treating God like a cosmic vending machine rather than the Holy Sovereign He is? How often do we pray for our daily bread, our relationships, or our protection without first surrendering to His will and acknowledging His lordship?

Let us examine our hearts: Are we praying with a posture of worship, or are we treating prayer as a transaction? Do we truly desire His will above our own, or are we subtly demanding our way? The Lord’s Prayer is a rebuke to our self-centeredness. It calls us to trust that God knows our needs before we even ask (Matthew 6:8) and that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).

If we are struggling with unforgiveness, this prayer confronts us: *"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors."* Unforgiveness is a barrier to receiving God’s forgiveness (Matthew 6:14-15). If we are anxious about provision, this prayer reminds us that our Father knows what we need and calls us to trust Him daily. If we are facing temptation or spiritual attack, this prayer directs us to depend on Him for deliverance, not our own strength.

Let us pray now with hearts aligned to these truths:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We confess that too often, we prioritize our needs, our desires, and our plans above Your kingdom and Your will. Forgive us for treating prayer as a means to our ends rather than a sacred communion with You. Teach us to pray as Jesus taught—with reverence for Your name, submission to Your kingdom, and trust in Your provision.

Lord, we ask for our daily bread, knowing You are our Provider. Help us to seek You first, trusting that all these things will be added to us. Convict us of any unforgiveness in our hearts, and grant us the grace to forgive others as You have forgiven us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. We declare that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.

Father, align our prayers with Your heart. May we not be a people who pray selfishly, but a people who pray *‘Your will be done’* with sincerity. Transform our hearts to desire Your priorities above our own. We ask this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, who taught us to pray this way. Amen."*

Beloved, let this prayer be more than words—let it be the posture of your heart. When we pray like this, we will find our needs met, our sins forgiven, our relationships healed, and our lives protected—not because we demanded it, but because we sought Him first. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4). His desires become our desires when we surrender to Him.
