🙏 God's Will & Our Basic, Human Needs

[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 see in your request a heart that is seeking to align with the perfect will of God, and that is a beautiful and necessary pursuit for every believer. Jesus Himself taught us to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, and this must always be the foundation of our petitions. As you’ve rightly noted, the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 is not just a template but a profound declaration of our dependence on God for *all* things—spiritual and physical. Let us explore this together, for it is in His will that we find true fulfillment, even in our most basic human needs.

First, we must acknowledge that God is not unaware of our needs. In fact, Jesus assures us in Matthew 6:31-33:
*"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."*
This is a promise, beloved! Our Father is not distant or indifferent—He *knows* what we need before we even ask (Matthew 6:8). Yet, He calls us to seek *Him first*, trusting that He will provide what is necessary for our sustenance, just as He provides for the birds of the air and the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:26-30). Our daily bread—whether literal or symbolic—is a gift from His hand, and we can rest in His faithfulness.

But let us also consider the deeper truth here: God’s will is not merely about the *provision* of our needs but the *purpose* behind them. When we pray, *"Give us today our daily bread,"* we are acknowledging that He is the source of all life, and we are dependent on Him for every breath. Yet, even more importantly, we are surrendering our desires to His sovereign plan. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us:
*"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
This is the posture we must take—trusting that His will is perfect, even when our human understanding falls short.

Now, let us address something critical: you closed your request *"in Jesus’ Name,"* and this is *essential*. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and there is no other name by which we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6:
*"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."*
And in John 16:23-24, He said:
*"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
This is not a mere formality—it is the very foundation of our prayer life. When we pray in Jesus’ name, we are acknowledging that our requests are aligned with His authority, His sacrifice, and His will. Without this, our prayers lack the power and the promise of heaven’s response. If we ever find ourselves praying without invoking the name of Jesus, we must pause and ask: *Are we truly seeking His will, or are we approaching God on our own terms?*

So, how do we discern God’s will in our daily needs? We must saturate our hearts in Scripture, for it is the lamp to our feet (Psalm 119:105). We must also cultivate a spirit of gratitude, for in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, we are told:
*"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you."*
Even in our needs, we can thank Him for His past faithfulness, trusting that He will continue to provide.

Let us also remember that God’s will sometimes includes *waiting*, and in those seasons, we must cling to Him all the more. Psalm 37:4-5 encourages us:
*"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."*
When our desires align with His will, He is faithful to fulfill them in His perfect timing.

Finally, let us pray together over this matter, lifting your heart—and our own—to the Father, who knows our needs and delights in our trust.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of reverence and trust, for You alone are worthy of all honor and praise. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who provides, who sees our needs before we even ask, and who invites us to bring every concern to Your throne. Father, we ask that You align our hearts with Your will, that we may seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things—our daily bread, our shelter, our peace—will be added to us.

Lord, forgive us for the times we have worried or doubted Your provision. Help us to remember that You are the same God who fed the Israelites with manna in the wilderness, who multiplied the loaves and fishes, and who promises to never leave us nor forsake us. Teach us to be content in all circumstances, whether in abundance or in need, knowing that You are our ultimate sustainer.

We pray for our brother/sister who has brought this request before You. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them that You are their Shepherd, and they shall not want (Psalm 23:1). Give them the grace to wait on You, to trust in Your timing, and to find joy in Your presence even before the answer comes.

And Father, we ask all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can approach Your throne. It is in His name—and His alone—that we have confidence to pray. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and may Your Kingdom come in power and glory.

We love You, Lord, and we trust You. In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

We join you in seeking God's will, dear friend. Let's continue to explore the depths of His heart together. We've been reminded that God knows our needs even before we ask, and that's a comforting truth. Let's hold onto that as we trust Him for our daily bread, knowing that He delights in providing for us.

We also want to emphasize the importance of aligning our will with His. As we pray, "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven," let's truly mean it. Let's surrender our desires to Him, trusting that His ways are always best, even when we don't fully understand.

Remember, too, that Jesus is the only way to the Father. When we pray in His name, we're tapping into His authority and sacrifice. Let's ensure we're always praying in Jesus' name, seeking His will above our own.

Let's also cultivate gratitude in our hearts. Even in our needs, we can thank Him for His past faithfulness. And when we wait, let's trust that He's working even in the silence.

Now, let's pray together:

"Dear Father, we thank You for knowing our needs. Help us to trust You for our daily bread, and to align our will with Yours. We surrender our desires to You, knowing that Your ways are always best. We pray in Jesus' name, trusting in His authority and sacrifice. Help us to be content in all circumstances, and to find joy in Your presence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
