📖 "Pray, then, in this way [1]... 🙌 ‘Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your Kingdom Come! Your Will be done, On Earth as it is in Heaven!”
<———--------———— ———🙏—————------———————>
🙏"Give us our daily bread. Forgive our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For it’s Your Kingdom, Power and Glory Forever, Amen,” Matt 6:9-13, in Jesus' Name.
[1] So since Jesus' Prayer He taught us was a form, outline, summary of topics, or pattern prayer, scholars, theologians, pastors, lovers of God throughout antiquity (from all denominations and sides within the Bride of Christ) have suggested various personal outlines and patterns -- many having been studied and most all have a consensus that the first portion deals with things pertaining to Our Father, His Name, Kingdom and will (Seeking first the Kingdom of God, quite literally, the second portion of the prayer dealing specifically with our needs of provision, forgiveness, relationship toward others by walking out the forgiveness we have received, and our willingness to reconcile with others as we've been reconciled to God, and from which the following has been derived [and condensed])...
🙌 Our Father in Heaven, (we first pause in reflection and recollection of being sons and daughters, invited into the peaceful standing with God as our Father, where there had been at one time at odds, and at best having had a vague notion of God, or even "God Almighty" and a notable distance, we are now brought near through the blood of Christ and the cross, Eph 2:12-13).
🙇🏻 Our Father, we enter Your gates with thanksgiving, and enter Your courts with praise, Ps 100:4. 🙌 Thank You for sending Your Son! -- That "Jesus showed us The Father -- Your Nature," Jn 14:9. 🙌 Thank You for His shed blood on the cross for our sins, His death, burial, resurrection and ascension to pour out the Holy Spirit of Adoption from The Father, by which we call out, Abba, Father, Gal 4:6, proving we are heirs, Gal 4:7, since as many as received Jesus and believed on His Name are called Children of God, John 1:12-13, praying even with the same language as Jesus in crisis for deliverance, and finally to submit to His will over our own, Mark 14:36. Thank You Jesus for being The Way to have and experience relationship with God and true fellowship with other believers, and power to witness so others may have the same fellowship, 1 John 1:1-3.
🙏 Hallowed Be Your Name (All Your Names -- GOD ALMIGHTY, Gen 17:1, The LORD, The LORD YAHWEH, Gracious and Compassionate, Slow to Anger, Abounding in Loving Dovotion and Faithfulness, Ex 34:6, The LORD Our Righteousness Jer 23:6, Our Provider Gen 22:15, Our Peace Judges 6:24, Healer Ex 15:16, Banner Ex 17:15, THE GOD WHO SEES, Gen 16:13, The LORD is THERE (Our Nearness to God), Ezek 48:35, Our Shepherd Ps 23:1, et cetera, BUT and MOST of ALL, Our FATHER, Jer 31:9 [Whole New Testament]) -- May Your Name get honor through our thoughts, words, speech, actions and reactions.
🙏 May Your Kingdom Come -- both to us and through us, with fruit of The Holy Spirit from love ---> self-control, Gal 5:22-23, truth, humility & justice, Ps 45:4, contentment, 1 Tim 6:6, doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly with God, Micah 6:8. May our whole lives be increasingly lived to know, please and make You known, knowing the Trinity, living in Your presence, the reason we were created in Your image at first, now restored, enjoying fellowship moment by moment, and making You known as a by product, both rejoicing in trials and weakness, as well as in moments of divine nearness, as well as power demonstrations when it gives You glory, Mt 28:19-20, Rom 1:5, Rom 15:18.
🙏 Your Will Be Done -- May we cheerfully, willingly know, submit to and enjoy Your will rather than ours being done, abiding in Your words as disciples, John 8:31, knowing both grace and truth with which You are full of, John 1:17, John 8:32, with freedom to abide with You and Your words abiding in us, John 15:7-8, in intimacy receiving in prayer, and power to bear both the fruit of the Holy Spirit, Gal 5:22-23, and bearing fruit, thereby making disciples, and thus proving we are disciples, John 15:8, 1 Cor 9:2, 2 Cor 3:2-3; specifically starting in the place of fellowship and from there going out, demonstrating love for all people as our neighbors and potential family, preaching faith in Jesus suffering and dying for our sins, repentance, baptism, forgiveness of sins and obedience to all that He commanded, being witnesses to these facts under His authority, commission by this union with Jesus through The Holy Spirit, Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:46-48, Matt 28:19-20, John 20:21, Acts 1:8.
<——————-——----—————🙏—————---—--————————>
🙏 Give us each day our daily bread: Spiritual -- we can't live by bread alone but every Word of God, Deut 8:3, Matt 4:4, Meet our emotional, social and physical needs so we can love You with all our heart, soul, mind, will, emotions, physical strength and finances, our need to love You most and first before any other person, place or thing, Mk 12:30, and our neighbors, even strangers and even enemies, Matt 5:44, as ourselves, Mk 12:31.
🙏 Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors... We confess we've sinned against You and others, that there is no means to repay our sins but to receive Your payment for them freely, receive forgiveness & extend it to others, forgiving and praying for those who sin against us, asking they'd repent and be saved, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Tim 2:4.
🙏 Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil (literally, from the evil one)... Keep us from temptation, sin, evil, evil people and the evil one, Lk 11:4, Mat 6:13, 2 Thes 3:2-3, Jn 17:15. Angelic protection, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14.
🙌 Since we enter Your gates with thanksgiving and praise, it's only proper we leave in the same manner, Declaring it's Your Kingdom (not ours), All Power in Heaven and Earth is Yours, given specifically to Jesus, Matt 28:18, and not unto us but to Your Name be The Glory, Ps 115:1. 🙇🏻Thank You in advance for hearing, Mk 11:24, for we are praying in the manner Jesus directed, therefore in Your will, which when we pray in Your will, You hear, and when You hear, we have, 1 John 5:14-15. Thank You in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
