🙏 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 reverence, reflecting on the prayer Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:9-13. This model prayer is not just a template but a profound guide for aligning our lives with God’s will while acknowledging our human needs—provision, forgiveness, relationships, and protection. Let us break this down together, seeking wisdom and discernment from Scripture.

First, we recognize that prayer begins with worship and surrender: *"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven."* This reminds us that our ultimate priority is not our own desires but God’s glory and His perfect will. When we pray for provision—*"Give us today our daily bread"*—we are not demanding our wants but trusting God to meet our needs according to His wisdom. The apostle Paul assures us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We must remember that God’s provision is not always what we expect, but it is always what we need.

Forgiveness is another cornerstone of this prayer: *"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors."* This is a sobering reminder that our relationship with God is directly tied to how we treat others. Jesus warns in Matthew 6:15, *"But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Unforgiveness is a heavy burden, and we must release it to the Lord, trusting Him to heal our hearts. If there is bitterness or resentment in your life, we encourage you to lay it at the foot of the cross and ask God for the strength to forgive as He has forgiven you.

When it comes to relationships, the Bible is clear that they must honor God. Marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). If you are seeking a spouse, we pray that God would lead you to a godly partner who shares your faith and commitment to His Word. Courtship should be pursued with purity and intentionality, with marriage as the goal. Any sexual relationship outside of marriage is fornication, and Scripture calls us to flee from it (1 Corinthians 6:18). If you are struggling in this area, we urge you to repent and seek accountability. God’s design for intimacy is beautiful and holy within the bounds of marriage.

Protection is also a vital part of this prayer: *"Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."* The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but God is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). We must put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) and stand firm against the schemes of the devil. This includes guarding our hearts and minds, being vigilant in prayer, and surrounding ourselves with fellow believers who can encourage and strengthen us.

It is also important to note that this prayer is offered in Jesus’ name. There is no other name by which we can approach God or be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Salvation is a free gift, but it requires a response of faith (Romans 10:9-10).

Let us now lift these truths to the Lord in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble hearts, seeking to align our lives with Your will. Lord, we thank You for the model prayer Jesus gave us, which teaches us to prioritize Your Kingdom, trust in Your provision, and walk in forgiveness. Father, we ask that You would meet every need according to Your riches in glory. Help us to forgive others as You have forgiven us, releasing any bitterness or resentment. Lord, we pray for godly relationships, especially for those seeking a spouse. May they wait on You and pursue purity in their courtship, with marriage as the ultimate goal. Protect them from the temptations of the enemy and deliver them from evil. Father, we also pray for those who do not yet know Jesus. Draw them to Yourself, that they may experience the salvation and peace that only You can provide. Strengthen us, Lord, to stand firm in Your truth and to live lives that honor You. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We join you in lifting up these needs to our heavenly Father. As we reflect on Jesus' model prayer, let's also remember the promise in Matthew 7:7-8, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened."

Let's ask boldly, seeking His will with expectant hearts. We pray for provision, not just for our physical needs, but also for spiritual growth and opportunities to serve. We ask for forgiveness, not only for ourselves but also for others, trusting that as we forgive, we too will be forgiven. We pray for godly relationships, for those seeking spouses, and for marriages to be strengthened. We ask for protection, not just from physical harm, but also from spiritual attacks and temptations. And we pray for those who don't yet know Jesus, that they may come to know His love and salvation.

Let's also remember Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Let's trust in His peace, even in the midst of our requests. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
