Our Father


Matthew 6:9-13

Our Father, who art in heaven...
Thank You Father that You are high and lifted up.  That Your kingdom far surpasses ours, that Your wisdom is greater, Your love is greater, Your grace is sufficient and Your strength is for all who seek it. Your eyes are always upon us and You know the hearts of ALL  people.

Hallowed be Thy name...
I praise You O God for Your holiness and righteousness. I praise You that You give us holiness and righteousness when we seek You and call on the name of our Lord for salvation. You are worthy of all praise and glory. It's all about You. It will always be about You and may we glorify Your name through our lives.

Thy kingdom come...
Yes, come Lord Jesus. Let Your kingdom rule and reign upon this earth in the hearts of the people. Let us daily seek Your face, seek Your kingdom in our lives. Let Your Spirit work in and through us that Your kingdom might be sought by those around us.

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven...
That is all I desire, that Your will would be done on earth. But we await that day that You will return and Your will WILL be done on earth as You have desired since time began. To be sure Your will will be done. Again, come Lord Jesus.

Give us this day our daily bread...
Thank You for Your Word which is our daily sustenance. Thank You that You are our bread of life. You nourish us and cleanse us by the feeding and washing of Your Word. Purify us this day, Lord, through Your Word, Your bread this day. Let me be fully sated by the only bread which satisfies.

And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us...
Thank You that You first loved and forgave us...while we were yet sinners. And that is what You desire us to do as well...to forgive others who have done or said wrong against us. Help us to overcome our pride that we might forgive others. Thank You that You first forgave me.

Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil...
Keep our hearts and minds stayed on You that Your Word would be ever before us and that Your Spirit would bring remembrance of Your commands to us that we would not do what is wrong. Let the light of Your Word hold us back from the temptations of life, especially those things that are most common in our personal lives. Let us be upright in all our days.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
It's all about You. No matter what. It's all about You. Your kingdom, Your power, Your glory. Let the whole world see and believe because Your kingdom, power and glory WILL be seen by all someday. Let it be seen today before that day comes.

Praise You Father, Son and Spirit. You created...You give and You take away...only You are to be glorified on earth as You are glorified by those angels who cry "holy, holy, holy." Let us all cry holy to Your name. Let us worship only You, the one true God. Let us sing praises to Your name. Let us rejoice in who You are. Let us fall asleep with thankfulness in our hearts; let us awake with Your Word in our hearts; let us arise with praise for a new day.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name! Amen.
