We join you in thanking our Heavenly Father for this beautiful day and for the gift of prayer He has given us through His Son. We are grateful you shared the prayer our Lord taught us, for it covers every need of our hearts, gratitude, daily provision, forgiveness, guidance, and deliverance.

We love how you begin with thanksgiving, for scripture calls us to this posture. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Your gratitude opens the door to His peace, and your humble repentance opens the door to His mercy. We stand with you in that repentance, for 1 John 1:9 promises If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We also hear your prayer to be healed of any unforgiveness you may hold, and we know this is close to the Father's heart. Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:14-15 For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. We pray the Holy Spirit will search your heart and gently reveal any hurt to release, so you may walk in the full freedom of His forgiveness.

You have asked for peace, rest, and deliverance and to rebuke the evil enemy from your home and your person, and we agree with you wholeheartedly in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces, and we have been given authority in Christ to resist. James 4:7 tells us Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. And 2 Thessalonians 3:3 assures us But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you, and guard you from the evil one. We take our stand on that faithfulness. We put on the whole armor of God that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil as Ephesians 6:11 teaches, and we rebuke every evil influence and command it to leave your home and your person in the name of Jesus Christ. There is power in His name and no other, and the enemy must flee at His command.

We also pray for the deep peace and rest you seek. Philippians 4:6-7 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. And Jesus Himself invites you in Matthew 11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Psalm 34:17 reminds us The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

We pray together now.

Heavenly Father, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done in this dear one's life and home as it is in heaven. We thank You for Your grace and mercy and for this day of life. We confess our sins before You and ask for Your complete forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus Christ. Heal any place of unforgiveness in this heart and help us to forgive as You have forgiven us. We ask for Your daily bread, Your provision for every need, and for Your perfect peace to guard heart and mind. Grant deep, undisturbed rest. Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ we rebuke the evil one and every work of darkness, and we command it to leave this home and this person and to go where You send it, never to return. Cover this home with Your presence, with Your holy angels, and with the power of Your Holy Spirit. Deliver us from the evil one, for Yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. We thank You that You hear our cry and that You are faithful to establish and guard us. Let Your mighty grace and power fill this place with light, peace, and freedom. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

We were thankful to read your prayer and the honest way you came before the Father. You are asking for such good things, to be forgiven and to be able to forgive, to have real peace and rest, and to know your home and your own heart are safe in His care. We hear how much you want to be free and close to Him.

One thing we have found helpful to remember is that forgiveness often happens in two layers. There is the clear decision to release a debt and not hold onto revenge, which you can bring to God even while the hurt still stings. Then there is the slower work in the heart where bitterness and fear are gradually eased and replaced with compassion and calm as you keep turning the hurt over to Him. If the feelings linger after the decision, it does not mean you have failed; it often just means God is still gently working.

As you keep praying that prayer Jesus taught, keep it simple and steady. Continue to bring your confession and your desire for deliverance to Him daily, fill your home and your days with prayer and time in the Word, and consider inviting a trusted pastor or mature believer to pray with you in person and walk alongside you regularly. You do not have to carry this alone.

Father, thank You for hearing this prayer. Have mercy, forgive sin through Jesus, and bring the peace and rest that is asked for. Heal any place of unforgiveness in Your time and guard this life and home by Your grace and power. Lead us in Your will today. In Jesus' name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

It is good that you have taken the very words which our Lord taught His disciples to pray and made them your own, for there you find all that a poor sinner needs. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. In that prayer you have asked for daily grace, for forgiveness, for keeping and for deliverance, and our God delights to give such things to those who seek Him through Jesus Christ.

You ask for gratitude, for forgiveness, for peace and rest and for deliverance from the evil one who troubles your home and your person. Hear then what the gospel declares. Forgiveness is not to be earned by many prayers, but is freely given through the blood of Jesus Christ who made a full atonement. The moment a soul looks away from itself and looks to Christ, swifter than the lightning flash the glance from the eye of God conveys pardon. Repentance and faith are inseparable companions. True repentance makes a rainbow with her tears of grief for sin and her glances of hope at the love of Christ and His great finished work. She stands at the cross and sees sin forgiven and then repents more than ever. Do not rest in a repentance that is only of the flesh, which is transient and tends to corruption, but seek that evangelical repentance which is born with faith and is the fruit of forgiveness already proclaimed.

You confess your sins and ask for mercy, and you also ask that any unforgiveness in your heart might be healed. This is right, for our Lord joins the two together, forgive us as we forgive. The pardon that comes to the heart by the power of the Holy Spirit produces faith, and faith works by love, softening the heart toward others. Ask the Lord to give you that tender spirit which freely forgives because it has been freely forgiven, and He will do it.

You rightly ask to be delivered and that evil be rebuked and removed. Know that deliverance is the Lord's own work. When a soul was ready to go down to the pit, the voice came from the excellent glory, Deliver him from going down to the pit. It is not your strength that drives away the adversary, but the power of Christ whose blood has rent the veil and opened the way into the holiest. The evil one would shoot his fiery darts and make you doubt your Father, but you have a Father who refines as well as chastens, and who preserves His saints forever. Seek not a false peace which stupefies like opium and leaves the soul still under the strong man armed, but that peace of God which is judged to be sound by the Judge of all the earth, peace through the blood which cannot lie and cannot change. That peace remains even in the tempest, for it is the peace of the Psalm of the thunderstorm, where the Lord sits King forever and gives strength and blessing to His people.

Therefore look unto Christ and be saved, all the ends of the earth. Trust not in your prayers, but in Him to whom you pray. The Holy Spirit applies the Word to the soul as food for hunger and medicine for disease, and there every right desire is satisfied and every evil lusting is ejected.

I will pray for you as you have asked.

O heavenly Father, hallowed be Your name, we thank You for this day which Your hand has made and for daily bread from Your bounty. We confess our debts and sins before You and rejoice that the blood of Jesus Christ Your Son cleanses from all sin. Grant to this soul true faith and true repentance, and heal all unforgiveness by Your mercy. Give peace that passes understanding and rest for the sole of the foot upon Christ the ark. By Your mighty grace rebuke the evil one and deliver from the pit, keep from temptation and set free both person and home for Your glory. Preserve Your child and help and deliver, because trust is placed in You. In the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

I join you in giving thanks to our Father in heaven, and I have heard your prayer for deliverance, peace, rest and forgiveness according to the prayer our Lord taught us.

Your desire to pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven, is itself a grace. In that prayer we ask for daily bread, for forgiveness as we forgive, and to be led away from temptation and delivered from the evil one. God hears this prayer when it comes from a sincere heart that seeks His kingdom and His will first.

For forgiveness, hear this good news. Blessed are those whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered. This blessedness comes not by our own work but by grace through Jesus Christ alone. Repentance is open to us, and by it we can entirely escape sin if we use it rightly. Do not be in despair, for the enemy would have you either not see your sin at all or, having seen it, fall into hopelessness and reap no fruit. Instead, bring your sins before God in particular, naming them honestly. When you tell Him specifically what you have done, you will better know the greatness of His mercy and become truly grateful to your Benefactor. Turn from those sins, amend your life, and trust that Christ forgives those who repent and come to Him.

For peace and rest, know that peace is the mother of all good things and the foundation of joy. Christ came to reconcile heaven and earth and to give His peace to His people. Scripture says there remains a rest for the people of God, and that the God of love and peace will be with those who seek to live in peace with Him and with others. Ask Him not only to calm your surroundings but to set your thoughts at rest within, so that your whole heart is in good order before Him. Where His peace dwells, every evil is driven out, for He delights to dwell with the peacemakers who are called His children.

For deliverance, you are right to seek refuge in Jesus Christ, for deliverance is by His mighty grace and power, not by our own strength or words alone. We do not command the evil one by our own demand, but we appeal to Christ who has conquered him. Continue to watch and pray, stay near to Christ, remain in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with His people, for the evil one seeks to catch the unwary. Ask for the angel of peace to guard you, and keep praying, forgive as you have been forgiven, and walk in the light.

Let us pray together. Heavenly Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done in this life as it is in heaven. Give this day daily bread. Forgive sins through the blood of Jesus Christ, and heal every place of unforgiveness, teaching this heart to forgive as it has been forgiven. Lead away from temptation and deliver from the evil one by your grace and mercy. Remove what is evil from this home and from this person, and fill this place with your peace and rest. Grant repentance that bears fruit and a grateful heart that rejoices in your love. In the precious name of Jesus Christ I ask this. Amen.
