šŸ™ God's Will & Our Basic, Human Needs, (Provision, Forgiveness, Relationships, Protection) Matt 6:9-13

Faithful Servant
šŸ™ Jesus said, "Therefore pray after this pattern: ā€˜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 so grateful you have brought this foundational prayer of our Lord Jesus before us, for it is the very pattern He gave to teach us how to align our hearts with the will of God. The words of Matthew 6:9-13 are not merely a recitation but a profound declaration of dependence on our Heavenly Father, acknowledging His sovereignty over every aspect of our lives—our provision, forgiveness, relationships, and protection. How beautiful it is that Jesus begins by directing our focus upward: *"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy."* This is the starting point—worship and reverence for who God is, recognizing that His will must take precedence over our own desires.

The prayer then moves to the surrender of our wills: *"Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth."* Here, we are reminded that our greatest need is not merely the fulfillment of our earthly desires but the advancement of God’s Kingdom in and through us. Do we truly seek His will above our own? Do we trust that His plans for us are good, even when they differ from what we might choose for ourselves? The apostle Paul assures us in Romans 8:28, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Let us examine our hearts—are we surrendering our plans, our relationships, our futures into His hands, or are we clinging to our own understanding?

Next, Jesus teaches us to ask for our *daily bread*—a humble acknowledgment that even our most basic needs come from the Father’s hand. This is not a prayer for excess or luxury but for sustenance, trusting that God knows what we need before we even ask (Matthew 6:8). Yet how often do we worry or strive as if our provision depends on our own efforts? Jesus calls us to a life of faith, not fear. In Philippians 4:19, we are promised, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Do we believe this, or do we allow anxiety to rule our hearts?

Then comes the call to forgiveness: *"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors."* This is a sobering reminder that our own forgiveness is tied to our willingness to extend grace to others. Unforgiveness is a chain that binds us, but Christ has set us free! Colossians 3:13 commands, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."* Is there someone you need to forgive? Are you harboring bitterness that is hindering your relationship with God? Let us release it today, for our sake as much as theirs.

The prayer continues with a plea for protection: *"Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."* This is an acknowledgment of our weakness and our need for God’s strength to resist sin. We are in a spiritual battle, and apart from Christ, we are powerless against the schemes of the enemy. But 1 Corinthians 10:13 assures us, *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure."* Are we actively seeking God’s protection, or are we flirting with temptation, thinking we can handle it on our own?

Finally, the prayer closes with a declaration of God’s eternal sovereignty: *"For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen."* This is our confidence—that no matter what we face, God is in control. His Kingdom is unshakable, His power is unlimited, and His glory is everlasting. When we pray this, we are reminding ourselves that our struggles are temporary, but our God is eternal.

Now, let us pray together over these truths:

*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of this prayer, which teaches us how to align our hearts with Your will. Father, may Your name be honored in our lives today. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in us, just as it is in heaven. We surrender our plans, our desires, and our futures into Your hands, trusting that Your ways are higher than ours.

Lord, we ask for our daily bread—not just the food that sustains our bodies but the spiritual nourishment we need to walk in faith. Help us to trust You for our provision, knowing that You are our Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Forgive us, Father, for the times we have doubted or tried to take control. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and teach us to forgive others as You have forgiven us.

Protect us, Lord, from the snares of the enemy. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Strengthen us to stand firm in Your truth, clothed in the armor of God. And finally, Father, we declare that Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. We place our lives in Your hands, knowing that You are faithful and Your love endures forever.

We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and King. Amen."*

Beloved, as you meditate on this prayer, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you may not be fully surrendered to God’s will. Are there relationships that need to be brought under His lordship? Are there sins you need to confess or forgiveness you need to extend? Are you trusting Him for your provision, or are you relying on your own strength? Let this prayer be more than words—let it be the cry of your heart.

If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Confess your sins, turn from them, and place your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the promise of eternal life. If you have questions about salvation or need further guidance, we are here to walk with you in prayer and truth.

May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek His face. Walk in the confidence that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it (Philippians 1:6).
 
Oh, fellow believer, let's take a moment to reflect on the beauty of the Lord's Prayer, given to us by Jesus Himself. It's not just a recitation, but a profound expression of our dependence on our Heavenly Father. Let's dive into it together.

First, we start with worship and reverence: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." This is our starting point, acknowledging who God is and that His will must take precedence over our own desires. It's a humbling reminder of our place and His grandeur.

Next, we surrender our wills: "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." Here, we're reminded that our greatest need is not the fulfillment of our earthly desires, but the advancement of God's Kingdom in and through us. Do we truly seek His will above our own? Do we trust that His plans for us are good, even when they differ from what we might choose for ourselves?

Then, we ask for our daily bread: "Give us today our daily bread." This is a humble acknowledgment that even our most basic needs come from the Father's hand. It's not a prayer for excess or luxury, but for sustenance, trusting that God knows what we need before we even ask. Yet, how often do we worry or strive as if our provision depends on our own efforts?

We also ask for forgiveness: "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors." This is a sobering reminder that our own forgiveness is tied to our willingness to extend grace to others. Unforgiveness is a chain that binds us, but Christ has set us free! Is there someone you need to forgive? Are you harboring bitterness that's hindering your relationship with God?

Lastly, we ask for protection: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." This is an acknowledgment of our weakness and our need for God's strength to resist sin. We're in a spiritual battle, and apart from Christ, we're powerless against the schemes of the enemy. But God is faithful, and He will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can bear. Are we actively seeking His protection, or are we flirting with temptation, thinking we can handle it on our own?

Finally, we declare God's eternal sovereignty: "For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen." This is our confidence - that no matter what we face, God is in control. His Kingdom is unshakable, His power is unlimited, and His glory is everlasting. When we pray this, we're reminding ourselves that our struggles are temporary, but our God is eternal.

Now, let's pray together over these truths, beloved. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where we may not be fully surrendered to God's will. Are there relationships that need to be brought under His lordship? Are there sins we need to confess or forgiveness we need to extend? Are we trusting Him for our provision, or are we relying on our own strength? Let this prayer be more than words - let it be the cry of our hearts.

And if you've never surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. There's no other name by which we can be saved. Confess your sins, turn from them, and place your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior. It's only through Him that we have access to the Father and the promise of eternal life.

May the Lord bless you and keep you as you seek His face. Walk in the confidence that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
