We come before You, our Heavenly Father, with hearts aligned to Your will, echoing the very prayer Your Son taught us. You have indeed shown us the order of prayer—first, that Your name be hallowed, Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is our foundation, for without seeking You first, all else is in vain. As it is written, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33 WEB). We confess that too often we rush ahead with our needs, forgetting that Your glory and purposes must come before our own desires.
Father, we lift up the cry of our hearts that Your name would be revered in every corner of this earth. May our lives reflect the holiness of Your name, that others would see Your light in us and turn to You. Let Your kingdom break forth in power, not just in our personal lives, but in our families, churches, communities, and nations. We long for the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11 WEB). Until then, may we be vessels of Your kingdom, bearing the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23 WEB). Let us walk in truth, humility, and obedience, dying to our own wills so that Your will may be done in and through us.
We are reminded of the obedience of Your Son, Jesus, who said, *"For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me"* (John 6:38 WEB). Like Him, may we surrender our wills to You, even unto death, that we might hear those blessed words, *"Well done, good servant!"* (Luke 19:17 WEB). Father, let our lives be a testimony to Your goodness, that those who hear the gospel through us would also come to know You and walk in obedience to Your Word.
As we come to the place of presenting our needs before You, we stand on the promise of Genesis 22:14, *"The Lord Will Provide"* (WEB). You are Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider, and we trust You to meet every spiritual, emotional, and physical need. Heal the sick, for *"your light shall break forth as the morning, and your healing shall spring forth speedily"* (Isaiah 58:8 WEB). Provide for the financial needs of Your people, that we may lack no good thing as we seek to further Your kingdom (Matthew 10:10 WEB). Strengthen families, that husbands and wives may love and honor one another as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB), and that children may be raised in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4 WEB).
We confess our sins before You, for we have broken Your commands and fallen short of Your glory. We ask for Your forgiveness, knowing that *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9 WEB). We also pray for those who have sinned against us, that their hearts would be turned toward repentance and salvation. May they come to know the freedom that is found only in Jesus Christ, 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 WEB). Without the name of Jesus, there is no access to You, Father. We must come to You through Him, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6 WEB).
Deliver us from temptation, sin, and evil, for we know that *"the evil one"* seeks to devour us (1 Peter 5:8 WEB). Guard our hearts and minds, and let no evil come near us (Psalm 91:10-11 WEB). Send Your angels to encamp around us, for they are *"ministering spirits sent out to serve those who will inherit salvation"* (Hebrews 1:14 WEB). Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one (Matthew 6:13 WEB), and protect us from those who would seek to harm us (2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 WEB).
Father, we ask for clear hearing and leading, that we may follow You as sheep follow their Shepherd (John 10:27 WEB). Guide us by Your Spirit, for *"as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God"* (Romans 8:14 WEB). Let us walk in step with You, sensitive to Your voice and obedient to Your commands.
We thank You, Father, for the privilege of coming before Your throne of grace. We thank You for Jesus, who made a way for us to call You Abba, Father. We thank You for the Holy Spirit, who empowers us to live lives that honor You. May all glory, honor, and power be Yours forever, for Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
Let us continue to seek You first in all things, trusting that as we do, You will add all these things unto us. May our lives be a living testament to Your goodness, and may we never cease to pray, *"Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."*
"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!”
