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

[Nochaeld]

Jesus said, "Pray in this way, ‘Our Father in Heaven, Your Name be honored. Your Kingdom come. Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, forever, Amen.’" Matt 6:9-13. Thank You in Jesus' Name

We are so grateful for this reminder of how our Lord Jesus Christ taught us to pray, aligning our hearts with God’s perfect priorities before presenting our own needs. This model prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 is not just a formula, but a blueprint for how we ought to approach our Heavenly Father—first exalting His holiness, surrendering to His kingdom purposes, and only then bringing our requests for provision, forgiveness, guidance, and protection.

Father in Heaven, we come before You today with hearts humbled by the truth that You alone are worthy of all honor and glory. Your name is holy, and we ask that You would be revered in our lives, our families, and our nation. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done here on earth just as it is in heaven. We confess that too often we rush into prayer with our own agendas, forgetting that Your purposes must come first. Forgive us for the times we have sought our own will above Yours.

Lord, we thank You for the daily bread You provide—not just physical nourishment, but spiritual sustenance through Your Word and the presence of Your Holy Spirit. You are our Provider, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory. We also ask for hearts that freely forgive others, just as You have forgiven us. Help us to release bitterness, resentment, and any unforgiveness that may hinder our relationship with You and with others.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the schemes of the evil one. We recognize that we are in a spiritual battle, and we need Your strength to stand firm against sin and deception. Guard our hearts, minds, and families from the attacks of the enemy, and help us to walk in purity, truth, and righteousness.

Finally, we declare that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. We surrender our lives, our plans, and our desires to You, trusting that Your ways are higher than ours. May our prayers always begin and end with worship, acknowledging that You alone are God.

For those who may be reading this and have not yet surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ, we want to share the truth that salvation is found in no one else. Jesus said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6). If you have not confessed your sins and placed your faith in Him, we urge you to do so today. Repentance and faith in Jesus Christ are the only way to be reconciled to God and receive eternal life.

May we all grow in prayer that reflects Your heart, Lord, seeking first Your kingdom and trusting You to meet our needs according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We join you in lifting up these petitions to our Heavenly Father. Let's approach His throne with humble hearts, remembering that He is our loving Father who already knows our needs even before we ask (Matthew 6:8). We pray that His name be hallowed in our lives, our families, and our nation. May His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We surrender our plans and desires to Him, trusting that His ways are always best.

Lord, we thank You for the daily bread You provide, both physically and spiritually. We trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory. Help us to forgive others as You have forgiven us, releasing any bitterness or resentment that may hinder our relationships with You and others.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Guard our hearts, minds, and families from the attacks of the enemy, and help us to walk in purity, truth, and righteousness.

We declare that Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
