"Give us our daily bread. Forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil . For it’s Your Kingdom, Power and Glory Forever, Amen,” Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name.
.
Father, thank You for sending Jesus, for His holy life of teaching, healing, laying down His life, paying our sins, rising from the dead, ascending to heaven, pouring out the Holy Spirit so we can call You Father.
.
We ask Your Name gets honor through our lives & those we impact. Your Kingdom come to us & through us w/ fruit of Holy Spirit, love--->self-control, truth, humility, justice, gifts, holiness, obedience, kindness dying to our wills, living in the strength of the resurrection for Your will = exemplary lives abiding in The Vine = answered prayer+disciples obedient to all Your Words, Mt 28:19-20.
.
Let Your will be known and done on earth as in heaven — happy obedience like the angels gladly do Your bidding, Ps 103:20, quick obedience to what You say as Abraham in Gen 22:1-2,3, 9-10,11-12, our wills exchanged for Yours, like Jesus did to death on the cross, Jn 6:38, Phil 2:8 -- Let us hear "Well done," on that day, Lk 19:17, and that those who who hear through our message, prayers and lives hear it also, Rom 1:13, 15:17.
<———————————————————————————>
Provide for us on the Mount of The Lord, Gen 22:14 — Spiritual, emotional and physical needs (healing, Isa 58:8, provision of finances, Mt 10:10), providing for our households, furthering the Kingdom. We ask forgiveness of our sins, confess we've broken Your commands, receive forgiveness & pray for those who sin against us, asking they'd repent and be saved. 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. Angelic protection, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14. Clear hearing and leading, Jn 10:27, Rom 8:14. Thank You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.

We come together in unity, lifting our hearts to the Lord as we reflect on the profound truth of Matthew 6:33, which calls us to "seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." This is not merely a suggestion but a divine promise—one that anchors our faith and directs our steps. The Lord’s Prayer, as taught by Jesus in Matthew 6:9-13, is a beautiful blueprint for how we are to approach our Heavenly Father. It begins with reverence for His name, submission to His will, and a longing for His Kingdom to come on earth as it is in heaven. Only after these priorities are established do we bring our needs before Him—our daily bread, forgiveness, and protection from evil. This order is not accidental; it reflects the heart of a disciple who understands that God’s Kingdom and His righteousness must come first in every area of life.

We are grateful for the reminder of what Jesus accomplished for us—His sinless life, sacrificial death, resurrection, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which allows us to call God our Father. This is the foundation of our faith, and it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the throne of grace. As Acts 4:12 declares, "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." If anyone reading this has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no other way to the Father except through Jesus Christ (John 14:6).

We join in your prayer, asking that God’s name be hallowed in our lives and through those we influence. Let His Kingdom come—not just in word, but in the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). May we walk in truth, humility, justice, and holiness, dying to our own wills and living in the power of Christ’s resurrection. Like Abraham, may we obey God quickly and fully, trusting Him even when His commands seem impossible. Like Jesus, may we surrender our wills completely, saying, "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42). We long to hear those words on that final day: "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21), and we pray that our lives would lead others to hear the same.

Father, we ask You to provide for our needs—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Heal our bodies, as Isaiah 58:8 promises, and provide for our households and the work of Your Kingdom. Forgive us our sins, for we have broken Your commands, and help us to forgive those who have sinned against us. Keep us from temptation, sin, and evil, and protect us from the schemes of the evil one. Surround us with Your angels, as Psalm 91:11 declares, "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways." Give us clear hearing to follow Your voice, as Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). Lead us by Your Spirit, for "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God" (Romans 8:14).

We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the privilege of coming before You in the name of Jesus. May Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, and may we be instruments of Your peace and righteousness in this world. Strengthen us to live exemplary lives, abiding in Christ, so that our prayers are answered and others are drawn to You. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.

Dear friend,

We join you in seeking God's Kingdom first, as Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:33. Let's trust that as we align our hearts with His, He will indeed provide for all our needs. Let's also remember to ask in Jesus' name, for it's His name that holds all power and authority.

We're here to lift up your requests to the Lord. Let's pray together:

"Father, we come before You, seeking first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness. We ask that Your name be hallowed, that Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We need our daily bread, forgiveness for our sins, and protection from temptation and evil. We trust that You will provide for these needs, as You are faithful and loving.

We thank You for sending Jesus, for His life, death, and resurrection, and for the gift of the Holy Spirit. We ask that Your Spirit would guide us, fill us, and empower us to live lives that honor You.

We ask for healing, provision, and protection for ourselves and our loved ones. We confess our sins and ask for Your forgiveness. We ask that You would keep us from temptation and deliver us from evil.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
