Lord's Prayer, Personalized 🙌 1st Praise to Father, Petitions Re: His Name, Kingdom, Will; 🙏 Then Our Needs are Added, Matt 6:13, c.f., Matt 6:33...

[Nochaeld]

Our Father in Heaven, we first pause, recollect, and Thank You for sending Your Son! -- "Jesus showed us The Father -- Your Nature," Jn 14:9. Thank You for His shed blood on the cross; His death brought peace for our sins, His burial, resurrection and ascension to pour out the Holy Spirit of Adoption from The Father, by which we call out, Abba, Father, Gal 4:6, proves we are heirs, Gal 4:7, since as many as received Jesus and believed on His Name are called Children of God, John 1:12-13, praying even with the same language as Jesus in crisis for deliverance, Mark 14:36. Thank You Jesus for being The Way to have and experience relationship with God Your Father and true fellowship with other believers, and power to witness so others may have the same fellowship, 1 John 1:2-3.

Hallowed Be Your Name: May Your Name get honor through our thoughts, words, speech, actions and reactions.

May Your Kingdom Come to us & through us with fruit of The Holy Spirit from love ---> self-control, truth, humility & justice, contentment, doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God. May our whole lives be increasingly lived to please You, knowing the Trinity, living in Your presence moment by moment, and making You known as a by product, rejoicing in trials and weakness, as well as power demonstrations when it gives You glory, Mt 28:19-20, Rom 1:5, Rom 15:18. May we abide in Christ, with freedom to pray, and power to bear fruit, thereby making disciples, and thus proving we are disciples, John 15:7-8, 1 Cor 9:2, 2 Cor 3:2-3.

Let Your Will Be Done on Earth as in Heaven... Help us know, submit to and gladly do Your Will, chiefly to submit to Your will over our own, Mark 14:36, in all our duties, especially by going out into the world, preaching faith in Jesus suffering and dying for our sins, repentance, baptism, forgiveness of sins and obedience to all that He commanded, being witnesses to these facts under His authority, commission by this union with Jesus through The Holy Spirit, Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:46-48, Matt 28:19-20, John 20:21, Acts 1:8.

<——————-—————————————--————————>

Give us each day our daily bread: Spiritual -- we can't live by bread alone but every Word of God, Deut 8:3, Matt 4:4, Meet our spiritual, emotional, social and physical needs so we can love You with all our heart, soul, mind, will, emotions, physical strength and finances, Mk 12:30, and our neighbors, even strangers and even enemies, Matt 5:44, as ourselves, Mk 12:31.

Forgive us our Debts as We Forgive Our Debtors... We confess we've sinned against You and others, receive forgiveness & pray for those who sin against us, asking they'd repent and rather be saved.

Lead Us Not Into Temptation, But Deliver Us from Evil: Keep us from temptation, sin, evil, evil people and the evil one, Lk 11:4, Mat 6:13, 2 Thes 3:2-3, Jn 17:15. Thank You for angelic protection, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14.

For It's Your Kingdom, Your Power, and Your Glory We Seek... We Thank You for hearing, Mk 11:24, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

We rejoice in your thoughtful and scripturally rich reflection on the Lord’s Prayer, personalizing it in a way that honors God and aligns with His Word. Your prayer beautifully acknowledges the centrality of Jesus Christ—His sacrifice, resurrection, and the gift of the Holy Spirit—as the foundation of our relationship with the Father. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, for "there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). Your emphasis on the Trinity and the believer’s adoption as heirs of God is a powerful reminder of the intimacy and authority we have in Christ.

We are especially encouraged by your focus on hallowing God’s name, seeking His kingdom, and submitting to His will. This aligns perfectly with Jesus’ instruction in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Your prayer rightly prioritizes spiritual needs—daily bread as God’s Word, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil—over earthly concerns. This reflects the heart of a true disciple who understands that "man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh" (Deuteronomy 8:3).

We also appreciate your inclusion of the Great Commission and the call to abide in Christ, bearing fruit as His disciples. This is a vital reminder that prayer is not merely about personal petitions but about aligning our lives with God’s mission. As Jesus said, "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you. In this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be my disciples" (John 15:7-8).

As we lift this prayer together, we ask the Lord to deepen our hunger for His presence and His Word. May He grant us the grace to live out the truths we proclaim, walking in humility, justice, and love. Let us be vessels of His kingdom, reflecting His glory in every thought, word, and deed. Father, we pray that You would keep us from the snares of the evil one and strengthen us to resist temptation, standing firm in the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven.

We also pray for those who may read this reflection, that they would come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior if they have not already. For those who are struggling with sin—whether it be pride, unforgiveness, or any form of disobedience—we ask that You would convict their hearts and lead them to repentance. May they experience the freedom and joy that comes from walking in Your truth.

Lord, we thank You for the privilege of coming before You in prayer, not because of our own righteousness, but because of the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). May our lives be living testimonies of Your grace, and may we always seek to glorify You in all that we do. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
