Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9-13

Jesus said, "In this manner, therefore, pray." He then gives us a summary of how we should address our heavenly Father. First of all, we should find a quiet place without distractions to begin our prayer and commune with God.
Our Father in Heaven, hallowed (honor as holy) be Your name. As we begin, we bow our hearts before God's throne and honor Him and give Him praise. Our worship will usher in His presence and provide the anointing to open the spiritual eyes of our understanding.
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. We, as the saints of the Most High make up His kingdom on the earth to carry out His mission and His will until He returns.
Give us this day our daily bread. Our bodies know that we need daily nourishment, but our spirits also need the bread of life, God's word, to strengthen our resolve and feed our souls with supernatural life! God provides us His Rehma word for us daily. (In the Bible, "rhema" refers to a specific spoken word or utterance from God, distinguishing it from "logos," which represents the broader written or living Word of God.)
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. We, as believers, must be free from debt, and we must also release the debts of people who owe us. This also means that we must forgive those who revile us or hold things against us, especially our enemies!
And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. (Evil one) God does not tempt anyone, nor does He lie; He does deliver us however, from evil and demonic control. His mercy endures forever!
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen. The universe and all it contains, and the earth and all its people belong to the Creator, the God who gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness! Praise His holy name!
Matthew 7:7 in the New King James Version reads: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” This verse is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and emphasizes the importance of persistent prayer and reliance on God. It encourages believers to actively approach God with their needs, both spiritual and temporal, trusting that He responds to sincere requests.
