Standard & Personal Lord's Prayer--Seek 1st The Father, His Honor Kingdom Will; Then Our Provision, Forgiveness for Us, Others, Kept from Sin & Evil, Matt 6:9-13, c.f. Matt 6:33...

"Pray, then, after this manner [1]... ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your Kingdom Come! Your Will be done, On Earth as it is in Heaven!”

<———--------——— ———(Selah)—————----———————>

"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, c.f., Matt 6:33, "But seek first The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these other things shall be added to you," thank You in Jesus' Name.

[1] Jesus' Prayer He told us to pray was an outline, summary of topics, or "pattern prayer;" the following has been condensed from six reliable sources, is of much godly & personal value when sincerely prayed (not mindlessly repeated, but through serious consideration, understanding the wisdom of the requests, ardently prayed, James 5:16-17...

Our Father in Heaven, we first pause and thank You "so loving the world You gave Your Only-begotten Son!, Jn 3:16. Thank You "Jesus showed us The Father -- Your Nature," Jn 14:9. Thank You for His shed blood on the cross for our sins, His death, burial, resurrection and ascension to pour out the Holy Spirit of Adoption from on high, by which we call out, Abba, Father, Gal 4:6, proving 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 of intimacy, Abba, i.e., "Daddy" or "Pappa, etc" as Jesus used in time of impending crisis for deliverance in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Abba, Father," Mark 14:36.

Hallowed Be Your Name... May Your GRACIOUS and COMPASSIONATE NAME, Ex 34:6-7, get honor through our thoughts, words, deeds, speech, actions and reactions. May we honor and know You in every Name You have revealed about Yourself in The Scriptures -- Elohim, Gen 1:1; The Name, Gen 4:26, El Elyon, God Most High, Gen 14:18, Adonai, Lord, Master, Gen 15:2; El Roi, The God Who Sees, Gen 16:13; El Shaddai, God Almighty, Gen 17:1; El Olam, The Everlasting God, Gen 21:33; Yahweh, The LORD, Yireh, Our Provider, Gen 22:18; Healer, Peace, Shepherd, Righteousness, Presence, Sanctification, Our Rock, Fortress, Strong Tower, Etc... We honor and hallow ALL Your Titles, Attributes, Your Name! May Your Name not be used to curse or in vain, Ex 20:7, and may our lives and conduct cause it to be reverenced, not derided, Rom 2:24. May the world be enlightened or compelled to reverence Your ineffable Name and Your Christ's and May Your Glory cover the Earth as the waters cover the seas, Numbers 14:21, Ps 72:19, Isa 11:9, Hab 2:14, Phil 2:10-11...

May Your Kingdom Come to us & through us with FRUIT of The Holy Spirit, see Rom 14:17 on what the Kingdom is -- His Righteousness, peace and joy, therefore ALL the fruit is an extension of His Kingdom, from LOVE, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, Gal 5:22-23, truth, humility & justice, Ps 45:4, contentment, Lk 3:14, 1 Tim 6:6, Heb 13:5, Phil 4:11-13, doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God, Micah 6:8. You desire mercy, not sacrifice, Hos 6:6. We ask for the GIFTS of The Spirit to be evident in us, our churches, families, and to Your people throughout the world, from ministry GIFTS to equip The Body of Christ through Your Gospel Officers until we reach unity in faith and knowledge of The Son of God and the mature stature of Christ Himself, Eph 4:12-13, (which has not yet happened so such workers must of necessity still be present and are much needed, even required, (again, see the reason they're given and conclude we haven't reached The Lord's goal yet, so they're still needed), Eph 4:13, apostles, (missionaries/church planters), prophets, (encouragers/exhorters/visionaries), evangelists, pastors and teachers), Eph 4:11-13, to The GIFTS of miracles (signs, wonders), healings, faith, prophecy, words of wisdom, knowledge, tongues, interpretation of such tongues, administration, leadership, giving, mercy, discerning of spirits, Rom 12:5-8, 1 Cor 12:4-11. POWER: Drive out demons by the finger of God, demonstrating The Kingdom of God, Lk 11:20, for The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power, 1 Cor 4:20. May Your Son return and the Kingdom flourish, being fully manifest. Come quickly Lord Jesus, Rev 22:17, Rev 22:20. Mostly the POWER to live a Holy Life overflowing with LOVE for God and others, singing and making melody from "singing seminaries" and "the walking practice of evangelism" is the best fruit and sign of the Kingdom, Heb 12:4. ***We also want to ask for Jesus' Return, so we may experience a whole other realm (I refer to it as 8.0 based upon the 7 covenants God revealed in Redemptive History (whether they all dealt with us individually or not is irrelevant, they are still part of the history of redemption when humans had workings and dealings with God expressing His thoughts toward humans, the New Covenant -- "the already "is the 7th, where we are redeemed, have peace with God, are indwelt with the Holy Spirit, are part of "New Creation" though only a "foretaste of the good things to come." The change our bodies will incur and all creation eagerly awaits is our hope in Romans 8 and latter Revelation and is the 8th I'm calling 8.0 where ALL of these things will be realized in a greater capacity and duration and God's Kingdom will have full expression once it's fully come on earth as it is heaven again -- the "not yet," -- "May Your Kingdom Come and Your Will be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven," Matt 6:10.

May Your Will Be Done on Earth as it is in Heaven -- Keeping in mind the Kingdom Coming, as described above, in differing degrees, the already and the not yet, we ask here in the already that we may know, submit to and do Your will for our lives individually and collectively as the church, as Jesus did during His time on earth, Phil 2:9-9, 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, might bear some fruit wherever we go, Rom 1:13, 1 Cor 9:2, 2 Cor 3:2-3, specifically by going, 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. May Your will be done on earth as You rule over the church and nations, Ps 22:28, and arrive in fulness at the Return of Christ.

<——————-———————(Selah)——————--————————>

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, Lk 4:4. Meet our spiritual, emotional, social, physical and financial needs mightily, Phil 4:19, so we can love You with all our heart, soul, mind, will, emotions, physical strength and finances, Mk 12:30, and our neighbors, Mk 12:31, even the lost, Matt 9:36, and even enemies, Matt 5:44, as ourselves -- and see others as Christ, who looked beyond his own interests, to the interests of others, considering others as more important than we, Phil 2:1-5.

Forgive Our Debts as We Forgive Our Debtors... We confess we've sinned against You, Rom 3:23, 1 Jn 1:8, 1 Jn 1:10 (name specific sins and areas of ongoing struggles), and others, receive forgiveness, Lk 1:77, & pray FOR those who sin against us, (by name and specific offenses), asking they'd repent and be saved, Job 42:7-16, entrusting their souls to a faithful creator and recognizing it is He who alone who is in fact the one appointed both to save and to judge, Romans 12:9, 1 Pet 4:19.

Lead us Not into Temptation, but Deliver us from evil... Keep us from temptation and evil, Luke 11:4, sin, 2 Cor 13:7, lies, evil, fear, Zeph 3:13, evil people, imposters, deception, 2 Tim 3:13, false believers, 2 Cor 11:16, 2 Tim 3:5, Tit 1:16, temptation and the evil one, Mat 6:13, Jn 17:15. Give us angelic protection, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14.
For It's Your Kingdom, (Everlasting Kingdom which Cannot Be Destroyed, Dan 7:18), It's Your Power, (All Power in Heaven and Earth has been Given to Me, Matt 28:18), and Your Glory, Forever... (Not unto us O Lord, but unto Your Name Be Glory, Ps 115:1)... We Thank You for hearing, Mk 11:24, Amen, in Jesus' Name, in Him All The Promises of God are Yes and Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

 

[Articles]

We are deeply encouraged by your heart to seek first the Father and His kingdom and to pray as Jesus taught us, and we join with you in lifting this pattern before the throne of grace.

You have beautifully captured that the prayer Jesus gave in Matt 6:9-13 is not to be mindlessly repeated but to be prayed with understanding as a pattern for our lives, for He also warned us not to use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do in Matt 6:7, but to pray with sincerity and faith. And you rightly place Matt 6:33 at the center, But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, for this prayer indeed begins with the Father, His name, His kingdom, His will, before it turns to our daily needs.

We love how you have lingered over Our Father who is in heaven. What a privilege that through Jesus we can cry Abba, Father as Gal 4:6 says, Because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father, and as John 1:12 says, But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name. It is only through Jesus that we have this access, for Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, and in Acts 4:12 we are reminded there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We thank God with you for the shed blood, death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Christ by which we are adopted.

We join you in praying hallowed be Your name, that His gracious and compassionate name revealed in Ex 34:6-7 would be honored in our thoughts, words and deeds, and that we would not take His name in vain as warned in Ex 20:7. May His glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea as promised in Hab 2:14 and may every knee bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father as in Phil 2:10-11.

We pray with you, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We ask that His kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit as described in Rom 14:17 would be evident in us through the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control in Gal 5:22-23, and through walking humbly and justly and mercifully as in Mic 6:8. We ask that His will be done in our lives individually and collectively, that we would abide in Christ and bear much fruit as in John 15:7-8, and that we would go and make disciples of all nations as commanded in Matt 28:19-20, proclaiming repentance and forgiveness of sins in His name as in Luke 24:47. We echo your longing, Come, Lord Jesus as in Rev 22:20, for the fullness of His everlasting kingdom which shall not be destroyed as in Dan 7:14.

And we bring before Him our daily needs, Give us today our daily bread, remembering that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God as in Deut 8:3 and Matt 4:4, and trusting that our God will supply every need of ours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus as in Phil 4:19, so that we may love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and love our neighbor as ourselves as in Mark 12:30-31.

We confess with you our need for forgiveness, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God as in Rom 3:23, and if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness as in 1 John 1:9, and we choose to forgive those who have sinned against us, bearing with one another and forgiving as the Lord forgave us as in Col 3:13, entrusting judgment to Him who judges righteously.

We ask with you, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, for He has promised that God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape as in 1 Cor 10:13, and that He will give His angels charge over us as in Ps 91:11, and deliver us from the evil one as Jesus prayed in John 17:15.

So we pray together, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. We thank You for loving us and giving Your only Son, and for the privilege of being called Your children through faith in Jesus. Hallow Your name in our lives and through Your church, let Your name be reverenced and not despised. Let Your kingdom come in us and through us, let Your Spirit produce His fruit and gifts among us for the building up of the body until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God as in Eph 4:13, and let Your power be displayed not in talk but in holy lives overflowing with love. Let Your will be done in our hearts, homes, churches and nation as it is done in heaven, make us obedient disciples who abide in Christ and bear fruit that remains. Give us this day all that we need spiritually, emotionally, physically and financially, and make us good stewards of Your provision to love and serve others. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, cleanse us from all sin and teach us to release and bless those who have wronged us. Lead us away from temptation and deliver us from the evil one, from deception, fear and every snare, and keep us in Your protection. For Yours is the Kingdom, Yours is the power and Yours is the glory forever, for all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus as in Matt 28:18, and not unto us but to Your name be glory as in Ps 115:1. We thank You that You hear us when we ask according to Your will as in Mark 11:24 and 1 John 5:14, and we ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, in whom all the promises of God are Yes and Amen as in 2 Cor 1:20, Amen.

We appreciate the way you put the Father first in your prayer, wanting His name honored and His kingdom and will to come before you bring your own needs for provision, forgiveness and protection. That desire to pray sincerely and thoughtfully, not just to repeat words, is a good and honest hunger.

We have found it helps to think of this kind of praying as training more than trying. Like preparing for a long distance, small regular faithfulness over time shapes the heart more than one intense effort. You do not have to pray the whole pattern perfectly every time to be growing in it.

One simple way to keep it alive is to linger on one phrase a day and make it your prayer for that day. One morning you might stay with Hallowed be Your name and ask how your thoughts and words could honor Him that day. Another day it might be Give us daily bread as you bring one specific need, or forgiveness as you name both what you need and who you need to extend grace to. A few unhurried minutes with a single line often keeps the prayer from feeling rushed.

We are joining you in this pattern and thank God for your desire to seek Him first.

Father, we thank You for drawing us to call You Father and for making a way through Jesus. Shape our hearts to want Your name honored and Your will done in us today. Meet our daily needs, forgive us and help us forgive, and keep us from evil. We trust You with this day in Jesus' name, amen.

 

[EnricoLange]

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Our Father who is in heaven is a name of adoption and of nearness, and none can truly say Abba Father except through the shed blood and risen life of Jesus Christ, who alone is the way to the Father. It is by His ransom that we are delivered from going down to the pit, for God has said, I have found a ransom. When the heart has trusted in that great Sin Offering, it is brought near to God and may speak with the confidence of a child, yet with holy reverence.

Hallowed be Thy name must ever stand first. Before we ask for bread or pardon, we ask that His gracious and compassionate name may be honored in our thoughts and words and deeds, and that His glory may cover the earth. The prayer that begins with self has missed its mark. Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all other things shall be added. Let this be your daily care, to hallow His name and to desire that His reign may come in you and through you.

Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done are prayers for power as well as for purity. The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power, and it is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, bearing fruit in love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control, and in doing justly and loving mercy and walking humbly with God. Pray then that you may be kept separate from the pollutions of this present evil world, for our Lord prayed for our sanctification, and without holiness we shall be unfit for His service. Pray also that the Spirit of God would work mightily, for only He can subdue the heart and make the nations bow to Christ. Deliverance is of the Lord, yet He works by human instrumentality, by faithful prayer and faithful witness, till He shall come whose right it is to reign.

Give us this day our daily bread teaches a cheerful dependence. He who delivered us from the power of darkness will not withhold needful bread and water. Cast your temporal and spiritual wants upon Him who has already given His Son, and trust Him for all that love requires.

Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors brings us low before the throne. Confess your sins plainly before God, for all have sinned, and look only to Christ for pardon. And as you have been forgiven, so forgive those who have sinned against you, praying for their souls and leaving judgment in the hands of Him who judges righteously.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil is the cry of one who knows the pit is near and the adversary is strong. It is a daily and common danger to slide downward unless Infinite Mercy interposes. Cry to Him for keeping grace and for angelic watch and for strength to crucify the flesh, and He who has delivered will deliver still, even to the end.

For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever reminds us that all our asking rests upon His sovereign grace and not upon our worthiness. He is gracious to whom He will be gracious, and His Kingdom cannot be destroyed. Therefore come boldly, yet humbly, trusting not in the fervency of your prayer but in the merit of Jesus, in whom all the promises of God are yea and amen. May the Lord teach you thus to pray, and make your life a walking answer to the prayer you offer, to His praise alone.
