🙌 Seek First The Kingdom of God 🙏 Then All These Things Matt 6:9-13...

[Nochaeld]

"Pray, then, in this way: ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven."
<------------------------------------------------------->
"Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,” Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name.
.
Father we thank You for sending Jesus, by His holy life of teaching, healing, and laying down His life in paying our sins, rising from the dead, ascending to heaven and pouring out the Holy Spirit that we might call You Father. We ask Your Name gets the honor it deserves on earth, through our lives and the lives we impact. May Your Kingdom come to us and through us with fruit of the Holy Spirit, from love to self-control, truth, humility, mercy, justice, gifts, holiness, obedience, pick up the cross, live in the strength of the resurrection, teach, preach, counsel, heal, and lead an exemplary life with Christ in us, making disciples, baptizing them into The Father, Son and Holy Spirit, teaching obedience to ALL Jesus commanded, Matt 28:19-20. Let Your will be known and done on earth as in heaven — happy obedience as the angels who gladly do Your bidding, Ps 103:20, quick obedience to whatever You say as Abraham in Gen 22, and may our heart motivation not to do our own will, but Yours, like Jesus did perfectly, even unto death on the cross, Jn 6:38, Phil 2:8 -- may we hear "Well done," on that day, Lk 19:17, and may You bring others there as well through Your work, message and prayers through our lives, Matt 10:20, Phil 2:13.
<------------------------------------------------------->
Provide for us in the Mount of The Lord — Spiritual, emotional and physical needs, providing for our households, furthering the Kingdom. We ask forgiveness of our sins, confessing we've broken Your commands, forgiving ourselves & all who sin against us, asking instead of judgment, they'd repent and be saved. Keep us from temptation, sin, evil, evil people and the evil one. Thank You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

We join our hearts with yours in lifting up this beautiful and earnest prayer, seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, just as our Lord Jesus Christ taught us in Matthew 6:33. It is clear that your heart is aligned with the will of the Father, and we stand with you in agreement, praying that His Kingdom would come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

We are reminded of the power and simplicity of the Lord’s Prayer, which you have so faithfully echoed. In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus gives us a model for prayer that begins with reverence for the Father, submission to His will, and a heart that seeks His provision, forgiveness, and protection. This prayer is not merely words to be recited but a posture of the heart that should shape our lives. We are called to hallow His name not just in our prayers but in our actions, our thoughts, and the way we interact with the world. Let us always remember that our lives are a living testimony of His glory, and as we seek His Kingdom, we must reflect His holiness, love, and truth in all that we do.

Your prayer also beautifully captures the essence of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20, where we are called to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey all that Christ has commanded. This is not a suggestion but a commandment, and it is through our obedience to this call that His Kingdom advances. We must be bold in sharing the gospel, living lives that point others to Christ, and discipling those who come to faith. The fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—should be evident in us, drawing others to the light of Christ.

We are also reminded of the importance of obedience, as you so powerfully prayed. Jesus Himself said in John 6:38, "For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." Our motivation must always be to do the will of the Father, just as Jesus did, even unto death on the cross. This is the ultimate act of love and surrender, and it is through such obedience that we find true life and purpose. Let us strive to hear those words, "Well done, good and faithful servant," on that day when we stand before Him.

In your prayer, you also asked for provision—spiritual, emotional, and physical. We know that our Heavenly Father knows our needs even before we ask Him, as Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:8. Yet, He delights in our dependence on Him, and we can trust that He will provide for us as we seek His Kingdom first. This provision is not just for our own benefit but so that we may be equipped to further His Kingdom and care for those around us. Let us be good stewards of what He has given us, using our resources, time, and talents to glorify Him and advance His purposes.

Forgiveness is another critical aspect of your prayer, and it is a cornerstone of the Christian life. In Matthew 6:14-15, Jesus tells us, "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Forgiveness is not optional for the believer; it is a command. We must forgive others just as Christ has forgiven us, releasing them from the debt they owe us and trusting God to bring about justice and repentance. This is not always easy, but it is necessary for our own spiritual health and for the unity of the body of Christ.

Finally, we are called to pray for deliverance from temptation and evil. The enemy seeks to devour us, but we have the power of Christ within us to resist him. James 4:7 tells us, "Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." We must be vigilant, putting on the full armor of God as described in Ephesians 6:10-18, so that we may stand firm against the schemes of the devil. Let us also pray for protection from evil people, that God would either change their hearts or restrain their actions, and that His justice would prevail.

Let us now lift our voices together in prayer, standing in agreement with your heartfelt petition:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for who You are and for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the privilege of calling You Father, made possible through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We hallow Your name, Lord, and we ask that Your Kingdom would come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. May our lives reflect Your glory, and may we be instruments of Your peace, love, and truth in this world.

Father, we ask that You would provide for our every need—spiritual, emotional, and physical. You know what we need before we even ask, and we trust in Your faithful provision. Help us to be good stewards of what You have given us, using our resources to further Your Kingdom and care for those in need.

Lord, we confess our sins before You, knowing that we have fallen short of Your glory. We ask for Your forgiveness, and we choose to forgive those who have sinned against us. We pray that instead of judgment, they would come to repentance and receive the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Protect us, Father, from temptation and evil. Strengthen us to resist the schemes of the devil, and deliver us from evil people and the evil one. We put on the full armor of God, standing firm in the power of Your might.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Go forth in the strength of the Lord, seeking His Kingdom first in all that you do.
