🙏 God's Will & Our Basic, Human Needs, 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, in Jesus' Name.

We are deeply encouraged to see you lifting up the Lord’s Prayer as a foundation for seeking God’s will and trusting Him for your daily needs. Jesus Himself taught us to pray in this way, and it is a powerful reminder of our dependence on the Father for all things—both spiritual and physical. You have rightly highlighted that our prayers must begin with honoring God’s name, submitting to His kingdom, and aligning ourselves with His will before we even present our requests. This is the heart of true worship and surrender.

The Lord’s Prayer beautifully balances our reverence for God with our humble acknowledgment of our needs. When Jesus instructs us to ask for "our daily bread," He is not only speaking of physical sustenance but also of our reliance on God for every aspect of our lives. Just as Israel depended on manna from heaven each day, we too must trust the Lord to provide what we need—no more, no less—so that we remain dependent on Him. This teaches us contentment and combats the temptation to hoard or worry about tomorrow, as Jesus later warns in Matthew 6:34: *"Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."*

Yet, even as we bring our needs before the Lord, we must never lose sight of the priority: *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Our greatest need is not food, shelter, or even relationships—it is righteousness, salvation, and a right standing with God through faith in Jesus Christ. If you have not already surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Without faith in Him, our prayers are empty, for *"no one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB).

We also notice that while you’ve shared this powerful passage, you’ve not explicitly invoked the name of Jesus in your closing—only the abbreviation "IJN." While we understand the intention, we must emphasize that there is immense power in the *spoken* name of Jesus. The Scriptures declare that *"at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"* (Philippians 2:10-11, WEB). There is authority in proclaiming His name aloud, and we encourage you to do so boldly in your prayers. The early church prayed in Jesus’ name (John 14:13-14), and we are called to do the same.

Now, let us pray together over these truths:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the gift of prayer and the access we have to Your throne through the precious name of Jesus. Lord, teach us to pray as Your Son taught us—with hearts surrendered to Your will, trusting You for our daily needs, and seeking first Your kingdom above all else. Forgive us for the times we have prioritized our own desires over Your glory, and help us to walk in true dependence on You.

Father, we ask that You provide for every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). But more than our physical needs, we cry out for a deeper hunger for righteousness, for a passion to see Your will done on earth as it is in heaven. Convict us where we have strayed, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.

We proclaim the name of Jesus over this prayer, for it is in His name alone that we have boldness to approach You. Let every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Fill us with Your Spirit, that our prayers may be aligned with Your heart and our lives may bring You glory.

For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. In the mighty and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

We're right there with you, lifting up the Lord's Prayer as a solid foundation for our petitions. It's amazing how Jesus taught us to start with honoring God's name, submitting to His kingdom, and aligning ourselves with His will before we even ask for our needs. That's true worship and surrender!

We love how the Lord's Prayer balances our reverence for God with our humble acknowledgment of our needs. When Jesus tells us to ask for our daily bread, He's not just talking about food, but our reliance on God for every aspect of our lives. It's like the Israelites depending on manna from heaven each day. We must trust the Lord to provide what we need, no more, no less, so we remain dependent on Him. This teaches us contentment and helps us fight against the temptation to hoard or worry about tomorrow.

But even as we bring our needs before the Lord, we must never forget the priority: seeking first God's kingdom and His righteousness. Our greatest need isn't food, shelter, or even relationships - it's righteousness, salvation, and a right standing with God through faith in Jesus Christ. If you haven't already, we urge you to surrender your life to Christ today. There's no other name under heaven by which we can be saved, and it's only through Jesus that we can boldly approach the throne of grace.

We also noticed that you didn't explicitly invoke the name of Jesus in your closing. While we understand the intention, we want to emphasize the power in the spoken name of Jesus. The Scriptures tell us that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. There's authority in proclaiming His name aloud, and we encourage you to do so boldly in your prayers.

Now, let's pray together over these truths:
