🙌 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 you in thanking our Father for giving us such a beautiful pattern for prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ and we rejoice with you as you have sought to unpack it with reverence and understanding rather than mindless repetition.

We agree that Jesus taught us to pray after this manner, not as a charm to be vainly repeated, for He said do not use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do, Matt 6:7, but to give us weighty topics to seek first before we bring our own needs. You have rightly ordered it as He did, first the Father, His name, His Kingdom and His will, then our provision, our forgiveness and our deliverance. This honors His command, But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matt 6:33.

We love how you begin with thanksgiving for the gospel, 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, and that through His shed blood, burial and resurrection we are declared not guilty, Rom 4:25, and adopted as sons so that we may cry Abba, Father, Gal 4:6, and 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. It is only through Jesus that we have this access, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and 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. We thank God you have prayed in Jesus' name, for in Him all the promises of God are Yes and Amen, 2 Cor 1:20.

We also affirm your desire to hallow His name and to see His Kingdom come with righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, Rom 14:17, and with the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control, Gal 5:22-23, and to walk humbly and justly before Him, He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God, Micah 6:8. We agree that we need both the fruit and the gifts in proper order, and that the Kingdom is not in word alone but in power, 1 Cor 4:20, most of all the power to live a holy life overflowing with love. And we join your longing for His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, and for the return of our Lord, where creation itself will be set free, Rom 8:21, and we pray with you, Come, Lord Jesus, Rev 22:20.

We also cherish the second half you have lifted up, Give us day by day our daily bread, Luke 11:3, and to trust Him for every spiritual, physical and daily need, for My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Phil 4:19, and to live not by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth, Deut 8:3, Matt 4:4. We join you in confessing our debts and forgiving others, 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 remember Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors, Matt 6:12. And we pray with you for deliverance, that He would not lead us into temptation but deliver us from the evil one, Matt 6:13, and keep us from evil, 2 Thess 3:3, and give His angels charge over us, Ps 91:11, for He is faithful.

We pray together now, Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name. We thank You for Your gracious and compassionate character, Yahweh, Yahweh, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth, Ex 34:6. May Your name be honored in our thoughts, words and deeds and may Your Kingdom come in us and through us. May Your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven, that we would abide in Christ and bear fruit, and be led by Your Spirit, Rom 8:14. Give us this day our daily bread for body and soul, forgive us as we forgive those who have sinned against us, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, and keep us from fear, deception and the evil one. Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. We ask that You would teach us to pray with understanding and faith without doubting, James 1:6, and that the effective prayer of a righteous person may accomplish much, James 5:16. We ask all this in the precious and only name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

We appreciate the care you put into laying out the Lord's Prayer as a pattern to live by, not just words to repeat. Wanting to put God's honor and kingdom first, then bringing your daily needs, forgiveness and protection to Him, shows a heart that wants to walk closely with Him.

What you described about praying with understanding and expectancy is so important. We have found it helps to think of this kind of prayer as training over a lifetime rather than trying to get every petition perfect each morning. Like training for a long run, small faithful moments add up. Some days one line will stay with you more than others, and that is okay. God is forming you as you keep coming to Him.

One simple way to keep this pattern fresh might be to linger on just one part each day this week and make it personal before moving on, letting the other parts rest until tomorrow.

Father, we thank You for drawing this heart to seek You first and to know You as Father through Jesus. We ask You to make Your name honored in their life, to extend Your peace and love through them, and to meet their daily needs as they trust You. Keep them close, guard them from evil, and help them walk in forgiveness and grace. We thank You that You hear. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your meditation upon the prayer which our Lord taught His disciples is right and good, for He gave it not to be mindlessly repeated as a charm, but as a pattern after which we are to fashion our supplications, weighing each petition and expecting an answer from a gracious Father who hears the cry of His children.

It is well that you begin where our Lord begins, with Our Father who is in heaven. What a mercy that we may so speak. We were by nature far off, outside the veil, but Christ has offered Himself and by His blood has washed us from our sins and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. He so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, and that Son has borne our sin, died, was buried, rose again for our justification, and ascended to pour out the Spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father. If you have received Him and believed on His name, you are called a child of God and an heir, and you may come humbly yet eagerly, as one to whom the Father says, What will you, and ask for a blessing.

When you pray Hallowed be Your name, you do well to remember that His name is gracious and compassionate, and that it is to be reverenced in thought, word, deed and speech, and not taken in vain. May our lives cause that name to be honored and not derided among men, and may the knowledge of His glory cover the earth as the waters cover the sea.

Your petition for His kingdom to come is most needful. The kingdom of God is not in talk but in power, and it is righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son, and that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. Therefore pray not only for deliverance from common sins, but for that positive holiness which is the crowning work of God in man. Our Lord prayed, Holy Father, sanctify them, and again, Keep them from the evil. He would have us separated from the defiled and polluted things of this present evil world and made fit for His service, bringing forth the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control, and walking humbly, doing justly and loving mercy. Pray also for the gifts by which the Body is edified and for power to live a holy life overflowing with love, which is the best sign of the kingdom, and look with longing for that day when the kingdom shall come in fulness at the return of Christ.

In praying Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven, you ask for grace to know His voice and be led by His Spirit, to abide in Christ and bear fruit, and to be obedient to all that He has commanded. It is a blessed thing to perceive that our smarts and sorrows as well as our joys come from our Father's hand, and then to say, The will of the Lord be done. If faith keeps its hold upon His fatherly compassion, you shall have effectual comfort in trial and strength to make Him known.

For your daily bread you do well to ask both for the bread that perishes and for that Word by which man truly lives. He who gave His own Son to put away sin will not withhold bread and water from His children. Ask that your spiritual, physical and temporal needs may be supplied according to His riches, that you may love Him with heart and soul and mind and strength, and love your neighbor and even your enemy as Christ loved you.

When you pray Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, remember that there is forgiveness with God. He says, I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions. He has no buts in His forgiveness. If you make a clean breast in confession He will give you a clean breast by absolution, and He will blot out your sin now upon your believing. As you have been forgiven, so forgive those who have sinned against you, praying for them by name that they may repent and be saved, and entrusting judgment to Him who alone is appointed to save and to judge.

And when you add, Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil, you pray as our Lord taught His people to pray for preservation. Holiness is deliverance from the hardness and carnality of nature and admittance into that which is spiritual. Cry to Him who has said, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. That ransom is Christ Jesus, and for His sake Infinite Mercy snaps the bands and sets the captive free, and makes him God's free man seeking to do only his Lord's will. He will give His angels charge over you and keep you from evil, from false ways and from the evil one, until He has delivered you all the way through, even from the power of death itself.

Therefore close as you have begun, with praise, for Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Take heed that you rush not into this holy exercise as the horse rushes into the battle, but go reverently, with understanding and with earnest expectation, for the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, and He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him and hear their cry and save them. May the Lord teach you thus to pray, and to live in the power of these petitions, to the glory of His great and hallowed name. Amen.
