🙏 God's Will & Our Basic, Human Needs, (Provision, Forgiveness, Relationships, Protection) 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 come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude for the perfect model of prayer Jesus gave us in Matthew 6:9-13, which beautifully covers our deepest needs—provision, forgiveness, relationships, and protection—while centering us on God’s will above all else. How profound that our Savior teaches us to begin not with our own desires, but with the honor of God’s name and the advancement of His kingdom! This is the heart of true worship: surrendering our will to His, trusting that He knows what is best for us even when our human understanding falters.

The petition for *daily bread* reminds us of our dependence on God for every need—physical, emotional, and spiritual. He is Jehovah-Jireh, the Lord who provides (Genesis 22:14), and we can rest in His faithfulness. Yet how often do we fret over tomorrow instead of trusting Him for today? Jesus calls us to a life of simple, childlike faith, where we seek first His kingdom and righteousness, knowing that "all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33). Do we truly believe this, or do we cling to anxiety as if God were not sovereign over every detail of our lives?

Forgiveness is another cornerstone of this prayer—both receiving it and extending it. The WEB renders it powerfully: *"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors."* This is not a suggestion but a condition of our own forgiveness (Matthew 6:14-15). Unforgiveness is a poison that hardens our hearts and blocks the flow of God’s grace in our lives. Who do we need to forgive today? Are we holding onto bitterness, justifying our resentment, while Jesus commands us to release it as we’ve been released? Let us examine our hearts: if we claim to love God yet harbor hatred or refusal to forgive, we walk in contradiction to His Word (1 John 4:20).

The cry for deliverance from temptation and the evil one is a recognition of our weakness and the enemy’s prowess. Satan is a roaring lion seeking to devour (1 Peter 5:8), and we are no match for him in our own strength. But praise God, we are not left defenseless! Through prayer, the Word, and the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18), we stand firm. Yet how often do we wander into temptation’s path, flirting with sin as if it were harmless? Jesus teaches us to pray for *deliverance*—not just strength to endure, but to be led *away* from the snares of the devil. Are we heeding this? Or are we entertaining compromises, rationalizing small sins that lead to destruction?

Finally, this prayer ends with worship: *"For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever."* This is our ultimate focus—not our circumstances, not our felt needs, but the majesty of God. When we pray like this, our perspective shifts. Our problems shrink in the light of His eternity. Our fears dissolve in the shadow of His power.

Let us pray together now, aligning our hearts with these truths:

*Heavenly Father, we bow before You, hallowing Your name as holy. You alone are worthy of all honor, glory, and praise. Your kingdom is eternal, Your will is perfect, and we surrender ours to Yours today. Forgive us, Lord, for the times we’ve sought our own way, trusted in our own understanding, or clung to unforgiveness. Cleanse our hearts and teach us to forgive as You have forgiven us—a debt we could never repay.

Provide for us, Father, not just our daily bread but the deeper nourishment of Your Word and Spirit. Guard our hearts from greed, our minds from anxiety, and our hands from hoarding what You’ve entrusted to us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. We renounce every scheme of the enemy—every lie, every distraction, every sin that so easily entangles. Clothe us in Your armor, and let us walk in victory through the blood of Jesus.

Protect our relationships, Lord. May our marriages, families, and friendships reflect Your love and holiness. Convict us where we’ve strayed from Your design, whether in lust, selfishness, or compromise. Restore what is broken, and let every connection in our lives point to You.

Above all, Father, let Your will be done in us and through us, on earth as it is in heaven. We ask these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who taught us to pray this way. Amen.*

Beloved, as we reflect on this prayer, let us ask: *Are we praying like this?* Not just reciting words, but living in the posture of surrender this model demands? The world offers counterfeit peace—self-sufficiency, vengeful justice, and fleeting pleasures—but Jesus offers *true* peace: a life hidden in God, where His will is our delight and His provision is our security. Let us choose today to pray—and live—like He taught us. The results will be eternal.

Let's come before the Lord together, brothers and sisters, with humble and grateful hearts. We're reminded in Matthew 6:9-13 that our Heavenly Father already knows our needs - provision, forgiveness, relationships, and protection. Yet, He invites us to come boldly before His throne of grace, to pour out our hearts to Him.

Let's start, as Jesus taught us, by hallowing God's name. Let's worship Him for who He is - our loving Father, our Provider, our Protector. Let's surrender our wills to His, trusting that His ways are always best, even when we don't understand.

Let's ask for our daily bread, not just for physical sustenance, but for spiritual nourishment too. Let's trust that He will provide, just as He always has. Let's not worry about tomorrow, but seek first His kingdom and righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to us as well.

Let's extend forgiveness as freely as we've received it. Who needs our forgiveness today? Let's not hold onto bitterness, but release it, just as we've been released. Let's remember, if we claim to love God yet harbor hatred, we walk in contradiction to His Word.

Let's ask for deliverance from temptation and the evil one. Let's recognize our weakness and the enemy's prowess, but let's also recognize our strength in Christ. Let's not wander into temptation's path, but ask God to lead us away from it.

Finally, let's end with worship. Let's focus on God's kingdom, power, and glory, not our circumstances or felt needs. When we pray like this, our perspective shifts. Our problems shrink in the light of His eternity. Our fears dissolve in the shadow of His power.

Let's pray together now, aligning our hearts with these truths. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
