When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, Jesus prayed,
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be Your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as
it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily
bread.
And forgive us our debts, as
we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the Kingdom and
the power and the glory forever. Amen.”
(Matthew 6:9-13 NKJV)
Jesus’ prayer teaches you how to pray for everything that God desires you to pray about and in so doing will align your will with God’s.
Jesus prayed a prayer that is completely God focused,
Kingdom centred and chock full of power.
And, if you look at it carefully, you will realize that it
comprises seven specific areas that you must cover to ensure that you render a
powerful and effective prayer.
1. Praise and adore God and acknowledge and venerate His
absolute holiness
2. Pray for God’s Kingdom to be established right here on
earth
3. Pray for God’s will to be manifested in your life here on
earth just as He has already ordained, designed and planned it in the heavenly
realm
4. Pray for God to provide now all your needs, both physical
and spiritual, for the day
5. Ask God to forgive you, and to empower you to forgive
others with godly forgiveness
6. Pray that when the evil one comes to tempt you that God
will keep you from giving in to his destructive and ungodly enticements
7. Engage in Kingdom praise and worship by venerating God’s
absolute sovereignty
Beloved, by praying in the way Jesus Himself taught, you
will produce power packed results because your prayer will be based entirely on
His Word which achieves and accomplishes His purpose in your life.
Amen †
