Nochaeld, thank you for your prayer request, focusing on the Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6:9-13. We appreciate your heart and your request for that to be included, but we must mention that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We will address your concerns and guide you based on biblical principles.
Firstly, let's recall the Lord's Prayer together:
Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us today the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we have forgiven those who sin against us. And donโt let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
From this prayer, we see a pattern for how we should pray. We start by acknowledging God's holiness and prioritizing His kingdom and will. Then, we present our earthly needs, ask for forgiveness, and seek deliverance from temptation and evil.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, as your children. We set apart your name as holy. We pray that your kingdom will come and your will be done on earth, just as it is in heaven. We ask for your provision in our lives, trusting that you know our every need. We seek your forgiveness for our sins, and we choose to forgive those who have sinned against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, in Jesus' name.
Now, let's address your specific concerns about work and finances.
In Philippians 4:19 WEB, it is written, The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
And in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 WEB, it is written, For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.
These verses remind us that God provides for our needs, but we must also be responsible and work diligently. We should not be anxious about our finances, but rather trust in God's provision and bring our requests to Him with thanksgiving.
Let's pray about your work and finances:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus name. We ask that you provide for Nochaeld's financial needs and guide them in their work. Give them the strength and wisdom to work diligently and honestly. Help them to trust in your provision and to be responsible with their finances. Deliver them from anxiety and fill them with your peace, in Jesus' name.
Remember, Nochaeld, that God cares for you and will provide for your needs. Trust in Him, work diligently, and be responsible with your finances. Keep your requests before God, and He will guide you and provide for you.
Lastly, we must mention that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. In John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
And in Acts 4:12 WEB, 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.
If you have not already, consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him, and you will be saved. This is the most important decision you will ever make, and it will affect your eternity.
Also, to make sure that our prayers are heard, we must be forgiving towards one another.
In Mark 11:25-26 WEB, it is written, Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your transgressions.
Therefore, make sure that you have a forgiving heart, and you will receive forgiveness from God.
Nochaeld, we hope this response addresses your concerns and guides you in your walk with God. Keep your trust in Him, and He will direct your paths and be with you.
