[Nochaeld]

"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, THEN these other things shall be added to you," thank You in Jesus' Name.

[1] Jesus' Prayer He taught was an outline, summary of topics, a form 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 weight of the petitions, ardently prayed, expecting answers, James 1:5-7, James 5:16-17...

Our Father in Heaven, we first pause and thank You "so loving the world You gave Your Only-begotten Son, that by believing in him we may be spared perdition and rather freely gain eternal life, Jn 3:16. Thank You "Jesus showed us The Father -- Your Nature," Jn 14:9. Thank You for His shed blood and died on the cross for our sins, 1 Cor 15:3-4, burial, resurrection declaring both Him and us "not guilty" Rom 4:25, and ascension (adoption, enthronement, Ps 110:1), as Son-of-Man-in-Power 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 "Papa, 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, Jireh or 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, 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. 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, 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 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 Jesus return and the Kingdom flourish, being fully manifest. Come quickly Lord Jesus, Rev 22:17, Rev 22:20.

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 (hearing His voice, Jn 10:27, being led by the Holy Spirit, Rom 8:14, 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, and obedience to any personal directives, admonitions and restraints, 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 collectively as the church until You come to reward the righteous and recompense the wicked, 2 Cor 10:3-6, and arrive in fulness at the Return of Christ, Matt 24:30, Matt 25:31-32.

<——————-———————(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 thank you for sharing this beautiful and thoughtful condensation of the pattern prayer our Lord Jesus taught us, and we join with you in seeking first the Father and His honor, Kingdom and will before bringing our own needs before Him.

We agree that this prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 was given by Jesus as an outline and summary of topics, a form to shape our hearts, not to be mindlessly repeated. As Jesus said, In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do Matthew 6:7, and we are called to pray with understanding, sincerity and faith expecting answers. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, without any doubting James 1:5-6, and The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective James 5:16.

We love how you have ordered it according to Matthew 6:33, But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. We first hallow His name and welcome His Kingdom and will, and then we bring our daily needs. How precious that through Jesus we can truly call Him Our Father. As many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name John 1:12, and Because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father Galatians 4:6. We were shown the Father through the Son, as Jesus said He who has seen me has seen the Father John 14:9, and it is only through His shed blood, death for our sins, burial and resurrection that we are declared not guilty Romans 4:25 and adopted as heirs.

We join you in hallowing His gracious and compassionate name Exodus 34:6-7, that His name would be honored in our thoughts, words and deeds and not taken in vain Exodus 20:7, and that His glory would cover the earth as the waters cover the seas Habakkuk 2:14, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow Philippians 2:10. We agree in praying for His Kingdom to come in us and through us in righteousness, peace and joy Romans 14:17 and in the fruit of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control Galatians 5:22-23, and in the gifts and power to live a holy life and to make disciples, and we echo your longing for His return, Come, Lord Jesus Revelation 22:20.

We also pray with you for daily bread in every way, for He gives us richly all things to enjoy and we do not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God Matthew 4:4, that our needs would be met according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19 so we can love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength Mark 12:30 and love our neighbors as ourselves Mark 12:31. We confess our sins before Him, for 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, and we choose to forgive others as we have been forgiven, and we ask to be kept from temptation and delivered from evil and the evil one, for God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able 1 Corinthians 10:13, and He will give His angels charge over us Psalm 91:11.

We pray together now, Our Father who is in heaven, we thank You for so loving the world that You gave Your only born Son that we who believe in Him should not perish but have eternal life John 3:16. Hallowed be Your name in our lives and in all the earth. May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in us and through us on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread for body and soul. Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever. We thank You that You hear us when we pray according to Your will and that in Jesus all the promises of God are Yes and Amen 2 Corinthians 1:20. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, our only way to the Father, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, Amen.

We were grateful to read how thoughtfully you have sat with the prayer Jesus taught, wanting to seek the Father and His Kingdom first and then bring your daily needs, forgiveness, and deliverance from evil before Him with understanding.

What stood out to us is your desire not to repeat words mindlessly but to pray them with weight and expectation. That desire itself is part of spiritual formation. One insight that has helped many of us is to think of prayer less as trying hard in a single moment and more as training over time, like preparing for a long run. Small, regular, sincere practice shapes us gradually, and God honors the heart behind it more than perfect wording.

A simple next step that fits what you shared might be to linger with just one petition each day this week in your own words. Take the phrase about the Father's name being honored, or daily bread, or forgiveness, pause with it, and turn it into a personal conversation with Him that morning. No rush to cover everything at once.

We are praying for you as you continue.

Father, thank You for drawing us to Yourself as Abba through Jesus. We ask You to form this dear one more into Your likeness as they seek You first each day, to meet their daily needs, to give grace to forgive and to be forgiven, and to keep them close to You and away from evil. We trust You to hear and to lead in Your faithful way, in Jesus' name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

It is a good and holy desire to pray after the manner our Lord taught, and to seek first the Father, His name, His kingdom and His will, before bringing your own needs before Him. This is the true order of prayer, for when the heart is set upon the glory of God, all other things fall into their proper place.

To pray Hallowed be Your name is to ask that His gracious and compassionate name may be honoured in our thoughts, words and deeds, and that our lives may cause it to be reverenced and not derided. Our Lord prayed for His people, Holy Father, sanctify them, and holiness is an essential qualification for fitness in the service of God. The holy Father in heaven will own those as His children upon earth who are holy, and He will not be slow to work in us to will and to do according to His perfect will. Pray then daily, Lord, make Thy people holy, and seek to make a broad wall in your daily life against all that is impure and unclean, giving sin not an inch lest it take a mile.

To pray Your kingdom come and Your will be done is to ask for righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, and for the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control to be evident in us. It is also to pray for power to live a holy life overflowing with love for God and others, and for grace to know and submit to His will, to abide in Christ, to bear fruit, and to make Him known. Deliverance is of the Lord but it must be accomplished by human instrumentality, and we are not to let the arrows lie still and say God will do His own work. Be mighty in supplication, for he that is mighty on his knees is mighty everywhere, and ask that the Lord would fill His house and extend His kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, even as we look for the coming of Christ in fullness.

To pray Give us our daily bread is to acknowledge that we do not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. Those doctrines of grace are our daily bread, and it is a glorious thing to have such a well in the family where in prayer you can bring all the necessities of the household before God. He will load you daily with His benefits and meet your spiritual, emotional and physical needs according to His riches, that you may love Him with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself.

To pray Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors is to come where there is sure hope, for there is forgiveness with Him. Suppose you have so sinned that you cannot pardon yourself, if God absolves you that is all the acquittal necessary for salvation. Jehovah will never require the debt to be paid twice, and if you can ask forgiveness for the sake of Jesus, God will do anything for Jesus and anything for you for His dear sake. This forgiveness is not given with buts and reservations, but He makes a clean breast by absolution, and will not remember your sins in His distribution of the reward. As you have received such full and eternal forgiveness, so bear and forbear with others, for vengeance belongs to the Lord.

To pray Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil is to ask for angelic protection and for keeping from sin, lies, fear, deception and the evil one. Neglect prayer and you will soon discover that all your spiritual powers wax weak, but when you are kept within the wall of Christ's love and mercy you are safe when the destroyer comes. The gate is yet open, and now is the time to enter and to abide there in prayer and meditation.

Continue then to pray this pattern not as a mindless repetition but with serious consideration, understanding the weight of each petition and expecting answers, for He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him and will hear their cry and save them. May the Lord teach you to pray thus more and more, to the praise of His kingdom and power and glory forever, Amen.
