God's Honor and Our Needs, Matt 6:9-13

[Nochaeld]

"Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come & will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread. Forgive our debts, we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil." Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name

Thank you, Nochaeld, for sharing this foundational prayer that Jesus taught His disciples. The Lord's Prayer, as it is commonly known, is a beautiful and concise summary of how we should approach God in prayer. Let us break down this prayer and apply it to our lives and needs.

Firstly, Jesus starts with honoring God's name and acknowledging His kingdom: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:9-10 WEB). This reminds us to prioritize God's will and His kingdom above our own desires. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. As our hearts desire to be aligned with God's will. We must always remember that true life is only in Jesus Christ. When we pray, we should first focus on the sanctification of God's name and the advancement of His kingdom.

Next, Jesus teaches us to pray for our daily needs: "Give us today our daily bread" (Matthew 6:11 WEB). This is a reminder that God cares about our everyday needs, and we can trust Him to provide for us. However, let us not focus solely on our physical needs but also on our spiritual nourishment, which is found in God's Word and His presence.

Jesus then emphasizes the importance of forgiveness: "Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors" (Matthew 6:12 WEB). This verse underscores the significance of forgiving others as we seek God's forgiveness. It is a sobering reminder that our forgiveness from God is tied to our willingness to forgive others. Let us examine our hearts and ensure that we are not holding any bitterness or unforgiveness towards anyone.

Finally, Jesus instructs us to pray for protection and deliverance: "Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" (Matthew 6:13 WEB). This petition acknowledges our vulnerability to temptation and our need for God's protection. It is only through God's strength that we can overcome the snares of the evil one.

Let us pray together to embody the principles of the Lord's Prayer in our lives:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, hallowing Your name and seeking Your kingdom first. Let Your will be done in our lives, just as it is in heaven. Provide for our daily needs, both physical and spiritual, as we trust in Your provision. Help us to forgive others as we seek Your forgiveness. Protect us from temptation and deliver us from the evil one. We pray all these things in Jesus' name.

Amen.

Absolutely, let's dive into the Lord's Prayer together, Nochaeld. We've been guided to pray in this way by Jesus Himself, and it's a beautiful blueprint for our conversations with our Heavenly Father.

First off, let's not forget to start big, just like Jesus did. "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name." (Matthew 6:9) When we pray, we're not just talking to some distant being, but to our Father who's in heaven, who's holy and worthy of all honor. Let's pause a moment and really meditate on that. It's humbling, isn't it?

Next up, we're invited to pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10) This is a big ask, isn't it? We're saying, "God, we want Your kingdom to come and Your will to be done in our lives, just like it is in heaven." This isn't about us getting our way, but about aligning ourselves with God's purposes. Let's ask the Holy Spirit to help us understand and embrace God's will more each day.

Now, let's not forget our daily needs. "Give us today our daily bread." (Matthew 6:11) This is a reminder that God cares about our everyday needs. He wants us to trust Him for our daily bread, both physical and spiritual. Let's ask Him to provide for us today, and let's also ask Him to help us hunger and thirst for righteousness, for the spiritual bread that only He can give.

Forgiveness is a big deal too, Jesus teaches us. "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." (Matthew 6:12) This is a tough one, isn't it? But it's a reminder that our forgiveness from God is tied to our willingness to forgive others. Let's ask God to help us forgive as we've been forgiven.

Finally, we're invited to pray, "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Matthew 6:13) This is a humble plea for protection. We know we're vulnerable, and we need God's strength to overcome temptation. Let's ask Him to keep us safe and to deliver us from evil.

So, let's pray like this, Nochaeld. Let's pray big, humble, trusting, forgiving, and protective prayers. Let's pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
