Matthew 6:9-13

⁹ “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
Lord we thank you for we have a father in you. Behold what manner of love that the Father has given unto us that we should be called the sons of God. You rule and reign in heaven and we worship you, we thank you our father. Hallowed be your name the only one of Israel, a holy God, your righteousness that by your spirit we can have a relationship with you. There is power in your name that by the mention of your name; every knee will bow and every tongue confesses that you are Lord.

¹⁰ your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Lord may your will for the unreached people groups be done here on earth, your will is that every man shall hear and know you and have a personal relationship with you. Matthew 24:14 ^‘And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.’

¹¹ Give us today our daily bread.
Shake the heavens and provide resources for all the missionaries. Help us to trust one day at a time, help us just like the Israelites you provided manna daily, that we shall learn total dependence upon you. Trusting day by day to Jehovah Jireh our provider, even through the economic hardships teach us to depend more on you.

Your word tells us not to worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself and that you feed the birds of the air and clothe the lilies of the field; how much more are you willing to care for us your sons and daughters, Lord help us to seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and that all other things shall be provided unto us {Matthew 6:33}

¹² And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
Lord help us to forgive those who have wronged us so as you shall also forgive us our iniquities {Matthew 6:14-15}
¹³ And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. {Psalms 19:14}. Lord help our hearts to be sensitive against pride, wrong attitudes, guard us from our evil thoughts we ask.
