The Lord' Prayer

Our Father in Heaven,

Hallowed by your Name
Dear Father, the maker of Heaven and Earth, how majestic is your name in all the Earth. Your name alone is to be praised for You are the One and Only God whose Name is holy and You have power over every created thing.

Your Kingdom comes
We acknowledge your rule over us. We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus Christ to die on the Cross, through whom God’s Kingdom has been brought near. Thank You for intervening into the history so that everything will be made right again in the future. We long to see your Kingdom come fully and your rule finally made plain to everyone. We long for that Day when every knee will bow down and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord of all.

Your will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven
We pray that while there are opportunities still, that men and women may come into repentance and obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ. We pray that as God’s people, we’ll submit to Jesus’ lordship over our life. Please help us to be your faithful ambassadors of You as we share the good news of Christ through our speech and action to those who haven’t submitted their life to Jesus’ rule yet.

Give us today our daily bread
We thank You for our daily provision that comes from a generous God. We ask that your blessings will be upon us as we earn for our living in a way that honors Your name. We pray that You will teach us to depend on You to sustain us physically, so we won’t fall into the trap of self-sufficiency but rather being transformed in our view toward the material possessions that You’ve blessed us with. Help us to seek first Your Kingdom for You promised that all these things will be given us as well. As you’ve blessed us, so help us to help those who are in need more than us. Open our eyes that we may be sensitive to the needs of others, most importantly their need to know God, so all our efforts will be directed toward that end.

Forgive us our sin as we’ve forgiven those who sinned against us
We acknowledge that we are weak and we still sin against You from time to time. Therefore, we beg for mercy that Jesus blood would cleanse away all our sins. And as You’ve forgiven us, empower us through Your Spirit to forgive those who sinned against us. Help us to find comfort in Jesus and heal us of our past hurts.

Lead us not into temptations
As we are still living in this sinful world, we ask that Your Spirit helps us to not easily give into temptations. We pray that Your Word which is life will teach us to say no to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for Christ to come the second time.

But deliver us from the evil one
We know Father that through the death and the resurrection of Jesus, Satan no longer has power, though he is still at work to blind people’s mind to the Gospel. Please help us to resist him. Help us to stand firm by putting on the full armor of God, which is Your Word, so that we can take our stand against the devil’s scheme.

For Yours is the Kingdom, and power and glory forever and ever. Amen.
