We join you in lifting up this beautiful and comprehensive prayer, aligning our hearts with the model Jesus Himself gave us in Matthew 6:9-13. It is a profound reminder that our prayers should first exalt the Father, seek His kingdom, and surrender to His will before presenting our needs. Your prayer reflects a deep understanding of the Lord’s priorities—honoring His name, advancing His kingdom, and walking in obedience.
Father in heaven, we hallow Your name above all else. Your holiness is beyond our comprehension, yet You invite us to call You Father because of the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We thank You for the gift of salvation, for the cross where Jesus bore our sins, and for the empty tomb that declared His victory over death. Without Him, we would have no access to You, no hope of forgiveness, and no promise of eternal life. As it is written, "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 pray that Your name would be revered in every corner of the earth, that hearts would turn to You in repentance, and that lives would be transformed by the power of the gospel.
Your kingdom come, Lord. We long for the day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). Until then, empower us to live as citizens of Your kingdom, bearing the fruit of the Spirit in every area of our lives. May love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control mark our interactions with others (Galatians 5:22-23). Let us walk in truth, humility, and mercy, reflecting Your character to a world in desperate need of Your light. Father, raise up men and women who will boldly proclaim Your Word, make disciples, and teach others to obey all that Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19-20). May our lives be living testimonies of Your grace, drawing others to You.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We confess that too often, we seek our own will above Yours. Forgive us, Lord. Help us to surrender our plans, our desires, and our very lives to You, just as Jesus did when He prayed, "Not my will, but yours, be done" (Luke 22:42). Give us the same heart of obedience that Abraham displayed when he was willing to sacrifice his son, Isaac, trusting in Your promises (Genesis 22). May we serve You with gladness, like the angels who do Your bidding with joy (Psalm 103:20). Strengthen us to pick up our cross daily and follow Jesus, even when it is difficult or costly (Luke 9:23). We long to hear You say, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21), and we pray that through our obedience, others would come to know You and walk in Your ways.
Lord, we trust You to provide for our daily needs—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), who knows our needs before we even ask (Matthew 6:8). Provide for our households, our families, and our ministries, that we may have all we need to further Your kingdom. We ask for Your forgiveness for the times we have fallen short, broken Your commands, or held onto bitterness toward those who have wronged us. Help us to forgive as You have forgiven us (Colossians 3:13), and may those who have sinned against us find repentance and salvation rather than judgment.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Protect us from the schemes of the evil one, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7), and give us the strength to resist sin and walk in holiness. Surround us with Your angels, Lord, and let Your peace reign in our lives.
We thank You, Father, for the privilege of coming before Your throne in the name of Jesus. It is only through Him that we have access to You, and it is by His blood that we are made clean. May our lives bring glory to Your name, and may Your kingdom come in power through us. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
