🙌 Standard & Personal Lord's Prayer: Seek 1st The Father, His Honor Kingdom Will; Then Our Provision, Forgiveness for Us, Others, Kept from Sin Evil

[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, The Trinity, Beginning in 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 join with you in thanking our Father for giving us this perfect pattern for prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ, and we rejoice that you desire to pray it not as mindless repetition but with understanding, weight, and expectation.

We agree that Jesus taught us to pray after this manner, first seeking the Father and His glory, kingdom and will, and then bringing our own needs before Him. As it is written, But seek first Gods Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matt 6:33. This order keeps our hearts rightly aligned, honoring Him before we ask for ourselves, and it guards us from the vain repetitions the Gentiles use, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him Matt 6:7-8.

We love how you have outlined the prayer. We pray together with you now in that same spirit.

Our Father who is in heaven, we thank You that through Jesus we have been given the right to call You Abba, Father. For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life John 3:16. We thank You that Jesus has shown us the Father John 14:9 and that through His shed blood, death, burial and resurrection we are declared not guilty Rom 4:25, and because we have received Him we are children of God John 1:12, and because we are children You have sent the Spirit of Your Son into our hearts crying Abba, Father Gal 4:6, proving we are heirs through God Gal 4:7. We hallow Your name, Your gracious and compassionate name revealed in Ex 34:6-7, Elohim, El Elyon, El Shaddai, Yahweh Jireh, our Provider, our Healer, our Shepherd and our Righteousness. May Your name not be taken in vain Ex 20:7 and may our lives cause it to be reverenced and not blasphemed among the nations Rom 2:24. May Your glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea Hab 2:14.

We pray, may Your Kingdom come to us and through us. For Gods Kingdom is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit Rom 14:17. We ask for the fruit of the Spirit to be evident in us, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control Gal 5:22-23, and for justice and mercy and humility to mark our walk Micah 6:8. We ask for the gifts of the Spirit to equip the Body until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God Eph 4:13, and for power to live a holy life and to make Your Kingdom known, for the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power 1 Cor 4:20. Even so, come Lord Jesus Rev 22:20, we long for the fullness of Your Kingdom when Your will is done on earth as it is in heaven Matt 6:10.

We ask that Your will be done in our lives today, that we may hear Your voice John 10:27 and be led by the Spirit Rom 8:14, abiding in Christ that we may bear much fruit and prove to be His disciples John 15:8, going and making disciples as You commanded Matt 28:19-20.

And for our daily needs we ask You to give us this day our daily bread Matt 6:11, for man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God Matt 4:4. Meet our spiritual, emotional, physical and financial needs according to Your riches in glory Phil 4:19, that we may love You with all our heart, soul, mind and strength Mark 12:30 and love our neighbors as ourselves Mark 12:31.

Forgive us our debts as we also forgive our debtors Matt 6:12. We confess we have all sinned and fall short of Your glory Rom 3:23 and we thank You for forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. We choose to forgive those who have sinned against us and we pray for them that they would repent and be saved, entrusting all judgment to You who judges righteously.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one Matt 6:13, keep us from evil John 17:15, give us angelic protection for He will put his angels in charge of you Psalm 91:11, and help us to watch and pray that we may not enter into temptation.

For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Not to us, but to Your name be glory Psalm 115:1. We thank You that You hear us when we ask in faith without doubting James 1:6, for the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective James 5:16, and that in Jesus all the promises of God are Yes and Amen 2 Cor 1:20. We ask all this in the precious and only name by which we have access to the Father and by which we are saved, the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We appreciated the care you put into walking through the Lord's Prayer the way you did, putting the Father's honor, His kingdom and His will first before bringing daily needs, forgiveness, and protection from evil. That order itself is such a steady anchor when prayer can otherwise feel rushed or scattered.

What stood out to us is your desire not just to repeat words but to mean them, to pause on the weight of each petition and expect God to hear. That sincerity is what makes a pattern become a real conversation with Him.

One simple way we have found helpful to keep it alive is to linger on just one phrase each morning in your own words for a few minutes, rather than trying to carry the whole outline at once. For example, one day stay with hallowing His name, another day with His kingdom coming through your life, and let the rest follow naturally. It keeps the prayer from becoming routine and gives space to listen as well as to ask.

Father, we thank You for drawing this heart to seek You first. We ask You to make Your presence and Your will more real each day, to provide what is needed, to give grace to forgive as You have forgiven, and to keep this dear one close to You and away from evil. We trust You to lead and to sustain in the days ahead. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your thoughtful meditation upon the pattern prayer which our Lord taught His disciples is very welcome and it shows a heart that desires to pray aright, not with vain repetitions but with understanding and holy expectation.

We rejoice to see that you begin where our Saviour Himself begins, with the Father. That we may say Abba Father is itself a miracle of grace. It is because the Son has shown us the Father and has shed His blood and risen again that we who once were far off are now brought nigh and adopted as heirs. To hallow His name is to desire that all His titles and attributes may be reverenced in our thoughts and words and deeds, and that the world may yet see His glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. This is no light petition, for holiness is an essential qualification for being used of the Lord, and our Lord's own prayer for His people was, Sanctify them through Thy truth, Thy word is truth. As you pray thus you pray for your own sanctification and for the sanctification of the Church, that we may be made holy and kept in union with Christ.

You have well recalled that we are to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. The Kingdom comes not in word only but in power, in righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, and in the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience and all the graces which adorn the believer. To pray Thy Kingdom come is to pray for power to live a holy life, to bear fruit, to make Christ known, and to long for that day when the Kingdom shall come in its fulness at the return of our Lord. Keep on praying thus and keep on shooting the arrows of prayer, for deliverance is of the Lord and He accomplishes it by human instrumentality, and He delights to answer those who yearn over souls and who put prayers into the treasury.

You have rightly placed our daily needs after the honour of God. Give us this day our daily bread teaches us our entire dependence. We cannot live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Our spiritual, temporal and daily wants are all to be spread before our Father, who loadeth us daily with benefits, that we may have strength to love Him with all our heart and to love our neighbour as ourselves.

And how needful is the petition, Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. There is forgiveness with God, that He may be feared. This is a divine forgiveness, complete and eternal, purchased by the blood of Christ. If we have been the chief of sinners we may have the chief of sinners forgiveness, for where God draws no limit let not us draw any. There is forgiveness, and there is forgiveness now, at this moment, for all who come through Jesus Christ His Son. Yet the very prayer that teaches you to ask for mercy bids you say, as we forgive our debtors. Unless we forgive others we read our own sentence when we repeat the prayer. He who has been so largely forgiven ought to find it natural to open his hands and forgive.

You also pray, Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. This is a prayer for keeping in a world of snares, for protection from sin and lies and evil men and from the evil one himself. There are seasons when prayer seems to have no return, when Satan whispers that God has shut His ear, but let the Christian know that his God is with him and temptation will have little power. Neglect prayer and all spiritual power waxes weak, but he that is mighty on his knees is mighty everywhere. Pray for angelic keeping and for grace to watch as well as pray.

And you close as our Lord teaches, for Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. All power in heaven and earth is given unto Christ, and His is an everlasting Kingdom which cannot be destroyed. Not unto us, but unto His name be glory.

We will join you in this. May the Lord teach you to abide in Christ, to pray in faith expecting answers, and to bear much fruit to His praise. May He grant you forgiveness, daily strength, and deliverance, and may His Kingdom come in you and through you until He comes Himself.
