turned some of our most powerful teachings into ebooks so you can study at your own pace and take your understanding even deeper check the description to grab yours with that being said let's get started if there's one word in the Lord's prayer that changes everything it's the very first one father after breaking down what this prayer really is a battle plan a strategy a connection to divine power the most important lesson we can take from it is who we are praying to Jesus could have said our Lord or our King he could have started with
oh Almighty creator of the universe but instead he deliberately chose to say our father that wasn't by accident that was intentional many people struggle to relate to God because they see him as distant Untouchable and impossible to please maybe that's how you feel sometimes you believe in him but do you truly know him when you pray does it feel like you're trying to get the attent attention of an all powerful ruler who might be too busy to listen or do you speak to him as a child speaks to their loving father think about it if
you are a parent how do you feel when your child comes running to you not because they need something but because they just want to be near you they crawl into your lap they hug you they just want to be with you do you turn them away do you say I'm too busy or does your heart swell because that's exactly what you want for your child to be close to you that's what God desires that's why Jesus said our father for many people this word father is a difficult one maybe your Earthly father was absent
abusive or impossible to please maybe he wasn't there at all and when you hear the word father it doesn't bring Comfort it brings pain but here's the truth God is not like that he is not an imperfect flawed human he is the perfect father he is not like your Earthly father he is everything your Earthly father should have been the enemy wants you to believe that God is distant cold and uninterested that's the greatest deception if Satan can convince you that God is hard to reach then he can keep you from experiencing the power of
this prayer but Jesus shattered that lie with two simple words Our Father and then he adds something even deeper in heaven when we say our father in Heaven we are declaring two things at once we are his children this is a relationship not just a religious practice Heaven is our home we are not just talking to some distant Cosmic Force we are connected to the king of heaven and that is where we belong this is what makes prayer different from just wishing manifesting or hoping for good things When you pray you are speaking to someone
who loves you knows you and already has a plan for you and this is exactly why Jesus told us to start our prayers this way he was inviting us into a different way of thinking when you come before God don't come as a beggar come as a son come as a daughter because when you approach God as your father it changes how you pray look at Jesus he called God father more than 150 times in the gospels he didn't just teach us to say it he lived it in John 11:41 to 42 before raising Lazarus
from the dead Jesus began his Prayer by saying father I thank you that you have heard me I know that you always hear me that's confidence that's the relationship he wants you to have and when you understand the this your prayers will never be the same you won't pray as someone who hopes God is listening you will pray as someone who knows he is you won't beg for God's attention you will rest in the fact that you already have it this is where the power begins so the next time you say our father in Heaven
don't just say the words feel them mean them know what they truly declare you are his child Heaven is your home and when you pray your father is listening if calling God our Father changes the way we approach him then what Jesus says next changes the way we see him Hallowed Be Your Name how many times have you said those words without thinking about what they actually mean the word hallowed isn't something we use in everyday conversation it means holy sacred set apart but Jesus wasn't n't just teaching us to say that God's name is
Holy he was teaching us to live like it throughout the Bible names are more than just labels they represent identity Authority and reputation this is why God's name is so important it is his very essence in Exodus 3 when Moses asks God what is your name God answers I am who I am in that moment God wasn't just giving Moses is a name to call him by he was declaring his eternal unchanging nature when Jesus tells us to pray Hallowed Be Your Name he's reminding us that we are speaking to the god whose name is
above every name but here's what most people miss this isn't just about saying God's name with respect it's about how we live when we say Hallowed Be Your Name we're making a declaration God's name is Holy so we must treat him as holy God's name is sacred so our lives must reflect that sacredness this is where it gets real if you say Hallowed be your name but live like God is just an option not a priority do you really mean it if you call him Lord but ignore his commands are you truly honoring his name
if your words are filled with praise on Sunday but your actions deny him on Monday are you really hallowing his name Jesus wasn't just teaching us a phrase he was calling us to a lifestyle think about the world we live in today God's name is used in vain every single day in movies music and everyday speech people use the name of the almighty like it's nothing but in scripture God's name is powerful in the Old Testament the Israelites had such deep reverence for God's name that they wouldn't even speak it when the scribes wrote kwh
the name of God they would stop wash their hands and pick up a new pen just to write it because it was that sacred but today people say it without thinking some even mock it and here's the question are we different do we truly live in a way that shows the world that God's name is set apart or do we blend in treating him casually jesus' name is powerful in Philippians 2:9 to 11 it says God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on Earth and under the Earth and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord that is the power of His name it is not ordinary it is hallowed when Jesus cast out demons he did it in his name when the disciples healed the sick they did it in his his name when we pray we pray in his name so when we say Hallowed Be Your Name we are making a commitment a commitment to honor his name in the way we speak a commitment to represent his name
in The Way We Live a commitment to reveal his name to a world that has forgotten its power look at what's happening around us people don't just ignore God anymore they oppose him his name is being raced from schools from culture from public life the enemy knows that if he can remove the name of God he can remove the fear of God but we are called to stand apart so when you pray don't just say the words ask yourself does my life hallow God's name do I live in a way that shows the world who
he really is because when you truly understand what it means to say Hallowed be your name you will never pray the same way again if praying Hallowed be your name is a commitment to honoring God's name then what Jesus says next is even more radical your kingdom come at first glance this sounds like a simple phrase a nice religious sentiment but if you truly understand what it means you'll realize this is a battlecry when Jesus told us to pray your kingdom come he was teaching us to call for a complete shift in power a spiritual
takeover because the reality is there are two kingdoms at War right now the kingdom of God and the kingdom of this world and the question is which one are you building the kingdom of this world is easy to see it's all around us a world obsessed with power money influence and self- Glory A system that tells you to do whatever makes you happy no matter the cost a kingdom where truth is whatever people want it to be where good is called evil and evil is called good but the kingdom of God it's different in God's
kingdom the first will be last and the last will be first in God's kingdom The Humble are exalted and the proud are brought low in God's Kingdom power isn't about domination it's about servant Hood in God's kingdom the king died for his people instead of demanding they die for him this is the kingdom Jesus told us to pray for but here's the part most people Miss God's kingdom is not just a future reality it is something we are called to bring into the world right now when Jesus came he didn't just preach about heaven he
preached about the kingdom he said repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand Matthew 4:17 he cast out demons healed the sick and forgave Sins Not Just to perform Miracles but to show what the kingdom of God looks like in action and now we are called to do the same but here's the problem this most people don't actually want God's kingdom to come they want their Kingdom to come they want their will their plans their desires to be fulfilled they want a comfortable Kingdom a kingdom where God blesses their life but doesn't change their
heart they want a kingdom where Jesus is present but they still sit on the throne but Jesus didn't teach us to pray Lord bless my kingdom he taught us to pray Your Kingdom Come This Means surrender this means alignment with God's will not our own this means saying God take over establish your rule in my life in my home in my city in this world It Means War because the enemy does not want God's kingdom to come the moment you start praying this prayer with understanding you become a th threat to the forces of Darkness
you are asking for God's rule to invade enemy territory you're asking for light to drive out Darkness you're praying for a kingdom that will overthrow everything Satan has built look at the world today it is proof that people are choosing the wrong Kingdom the division the deception the corruption it's all evidence of a world that has rejected God's rule but Jesus didn't tell us to sit back and wait for heaven he told us to pray for the kingdom to come and here's the question are you willing to live in a way that brings his kingdom
to Earth because praying Your Kingdom Come isn't just about words it's about action it means being the hands and feet of Jesus it means standing for truth in a world full of lies it means living in righteousness even when culture promotes sin it means Walking In Love when the world is filled with hate so when you pray don't just say the words ask yourself am I living in a way that invites God's kingdom or am I just building my own because when you truly understand what it means to say your kingdom come you will never
pray the same way again surrender that's where most people struggle when it comes to prayer it's easy to ask God for what we want but it's another thing to say not my will but yours be done this one phrase your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven is one of the most powerful yet challenging parts of the Lord's Prayer because in that moment we are not just saying words we are choosing to trust God's plan over our own we are acknowledging that his ways are higher even when we don't understand think about
it have you ever prayed for something so desperately believing with all your heart that it was the right thing only for God to say no maybe you begged God to save a relationship but it still ended maybe you prayed for a job and someone else got it maybe you asked for healing but the suffering remained it's in those moments that this part of the Lord's Prayer becomes real because surrender is not just about say saying the words it's about trusting God when his answer is different from what we wanted Jesus himself modeled this for us
in the most intense moment of his life In The Garden of Gethsemane the weight of the Cross pressed down on him he knew what was coming the Betrayal the pain the humiliation the separation from the father and he prayed father if you are willing take this cup from me yet not my will but yours be done Luke 22:42 that prayer wasn't easy it wasn't emotionless it was a battle but in that moment Jesus showed us what true surrender looks like he trusted the father completely even when it led him to the cross and this is
where we have to ask ourselves are we truly praying for God's will to be done or are we just hoping he'll do things our way it's a tough question because surrender is hard it means laying down control it means saying God even if this doesn't go how I want I trust you it means believing that his plan is greater than what we can see right now look at the stories in scripture Joseph was sold into slavery falsely accused and imprisoned he could have given up thinking God had abandoned him but he didn't he trusted that
God's will was unfolding even through suffering and in the end he became second in command in Egypt saving countless lives or think about Paul he had dreams of spreading the gospel freely but instead he found himself beaten Shipwrecked and imprisoned yet in those chains he wrote letters that would shape the entire Christian faith why because he had surrendered his plans for God's greater purpose and now let's bring this to today how often do we fight against God's will without even realizing it we chase after things Force situations or get frustrated when life doesn't go our
way but when we truly pray your will be done we are handing God the pen and saying write the story the way you see best and that is where true peace is found so here's the challenge the next time you pray don't just say these words mean them ask yourself do I really trust God enough to surrender my plans for his because if we truly desire his will to be done on Earth as it is in heaven it has to start with us there's a reason Jesus didn't say give us this month our monthly bread
or give us this year our yearly bread he said give us this day our daily bread it's not just about food it's it's about dependence it's about trust it's about breaking free from the illusion that we can sustain ourselves without God this is where so many people struggle because in a world that tells us to plan save and secure our future Jesus tells us to rely on God day by day think about that for a moment how many times have you stayed up at night worrying about money about your job about how you're going to
provide for your family the anxiety that Creeps in when you don't know what's next that's why this part of the prayer is so powerful because Jesus is calling us to shift our mindset to stop obsessing over what we don't have and start trusting the one who has always provided look at the Israelites in the wilderness God gave them Mana from Heaven every single day but there was one condition they could only collect what they needed for that day if they tried to store up extra it would rot why because God was teaching them daily dependence
he was teaching them that their provision didn't come from their own hands it came from him and that's the same lesson Jesus is teaching us through this prayer but let's be real this is hard everything in US wants security we want to know that we're set for the next 5 10 20 years we want the guarantee that we'll never never have to struggle and yet Jesus tells us to ask for Daily Bread not because God doesn't want us to plan but because he wants us to trust and this goes beyond money what about emotional strength
how often do we try to store up enough peace to carry us through the week only to find ourselves drained by Wednesday Jesus is saying come to me every day ask me for what you need to day I will give you the strength the wisdom the patience and the provision you need one day at a time look at how Jesus lived he didn't carry a stash of gold he didn't worry about where his next meal would come from he relied on the father completely setting an example for us and the truth is when we start
living this way trusting God daily rather than hoarding up resources for security we experience of Freedom that the world can't offer because anxiety Fades when we realize we are in the hands of a faithful provider now think about today's culture the pressure to achieve the obsession with wealth the constant worry about the future it's exhausting but Jesus is saying let it go ask for what you need today trust me to handle tomorrow so here's the challenge what would change in your life if you truly believed that God would provide for you daily if you stopped
living in fear of the future and started trusting him in the present if you really lived as though the God who fed the Israelites Who provided for Elijah through Ravens who multiplied bread and fish was the same God watching over you right now because he is so the next time you pray this part of the Lord's Prayer don't just say the words Fe heal them let them break your dependence on money on your job on your own ability to make things happen because true peace comes not from having everything figured out but from knowing that
your father in Heaven never fails to give you exactly what you need and if you believe that then today's worries don't stand a chance if asking for Daily Bread teaches us dependence on God asking for forgiveness teaches us something just is lifechanging how to break free free from guilt free from bitterness free from the chains that keep us stuck in the past but here's the part that makes this prayer so radical Jesus doesn't just tell us to ask for forgiveness he tells us to forgive others in the same way we want to be forgiven and
that's where most people struggle because it's easy to say God forgive me it's much harder to say God help me for forgive them but Jesus ties these two together in a way that we can't ignore think about it have you ever felt distant from God but couldn't quite figure out why maybe you were praying reading your Bible even going to church but something felt off Jesus gives us the answer right here unforgiveness blocks us from experiencing the fullness of God's mercy it hardens our hearts distorts our prayers and keeps us trapped in a cycle of
pain Jesus made this clear in Matthew 61415 when he said for if you forgive other people when they sin against you your heavenly father will also forgive you but if you do not forgive others their sins your father will not forgive your sins that's a terrifying reality it means that if we hold on to resentment we are cutting ourselves off from the Forgiveness we desperately need look at the parable of the unmerciful servant in Matthew 18 a man owed an unpayable debt to a king and the king in his Mercy forgave it all but what
did the man do he immediately turned around and refused to forgive someone who owed him just a small amount when the king found out he threw the man into prison saying shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you this is exactly what happens when we refuse to forgive we have been forgiven and immeasurable debt every sin every failure every moment of rebellion against God and yet we so often hold on to Petty offenses we say but they hurt me but they don't deserve it but they haven't even apologized
but did we deserve forgiveness did we come to God perfectly cleaned up apologizing for every sin before he chose to send Jesus number Romans 58 tells us that while we were still sinners Christ died for us that means we forgive not because people deserve it but because we didn't deserve it either and let's be clear this doesn't mean pretending that what they did was okay it doesn't mean allowing toxic people back into your life it doesn't mean ignoring pain it means releasing them handing them over to God saying I I refuse to let this bitterness
take root in me I refuse to let their actions control my heart and here's the beautiful part forgiveness doesn't just set them free it sets you free studies even show that holding on to bitterness increases stress damages your immune system and leads to depression meanwhile those who forgive experience greater peace Better Health and even longer life expectancy but Jesus knew this long before science did that's why he made forgiveness a central part of prayer now let's talk about the other side If we're honest sometimes we are the ones who need forgiveness not just from God
but from others we've hurt people said things we shouldn't have made mistakes and just as we want God's mercy we need need to be humble enough to seek reconciliation when possible so here's the question who do you need to forgive maybe it's someone from years ago a parent a friend a spouse maybe it's yourself or maybe you need to ask for forgiveness from someone else because Jesus makes it clear we cannot separate receiving God's forgiveness from giving it if we want our prayers to be powerful if we want to to walk in true Freedom we
must let go of the chains of bitterness so when you pray this part of the Lord's Prayer don't just say the words mean them let them change you and if God brings a name to your heart don't ignore it forgiveness isn't easy but it is necessary and when you finally release that weight you'll realize it wasn't just holding them captive it was holding you and God never intended for you to live that way if forgiveness sets us free from the chains of the past this next part of the Lord's Prayer prepares us for the battles
ahead Jesus tells us to pray lead us not into temptation but have you ever wondered why would God lead us into temptation in the first place some people struggle with this line because it sounds like we're asking God not to do something he might otherwise do but that's not what Jesus meant the Bible is clear James 1:13 tells us God cannot be tempted by evil nor does he tempt anyone so why did Jesus include this in his prayer because temptation is a reality and he was teaching us to stay spiritually alert temptation is not a
possibility it is a guarantee every single person faces it even Jesus himself was tempted in the wilderness by Satan in Matthew 4 but while Temptation itself is not a sin giving in to it is that's why Jesus is showing us how to pray for protection before we even step into the battle think about it how often do people fall into sin into addiction into bad choices because they weren't on guard they weren't praying against Temptation they were just hoping they'd be strong enough in the moment but Jesus is teaching us that we don't wait until
Temptation comes to start fighting we ask God to guide us in a way that helps us avoid it all together and this is where Spiritual Warfare comes in because temptation is not just about human weakness it is a strategy a setup the enemy studies us he knows our patterns our weaknesses are blind spots he doesn't waste time tempting us with things we don't care about he tempts us with the very things we struggle with most that's why Jesus tells us to pray this daily because whether you realize it or not there is a battle over
your mind your Purity your focus your integrity and without spiritual protection you are walking straight into enemy territory unarmed look at Peter before Jesus was arrested he warned Peter Satan has asked to sift you like wheat but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail Luke 2231 to 32 Jesus didn't tell Peter to just be strong he covered him in prayer but what did Peter do he relied on his own strength he ignored jesus' warning and when Temptation came he denied Jesus three times but contrast that with Joseph in Genesis 39 when
Piper's wife tried to seduce him he didn't sit there and bait he didn't try to resist in his own strength he ran he removed himself from the Temptation immediately this is the difference between those who fall and those who stand the ones who stand don't just pray after they fall they pray before they are even in danger they stay ahead of the attack they ask God not just for strength to resist but for wisdom to avoid and here's something powerful 1 Corinthians 10:13 says God is faithful he will not let you be tempted beyond what
you can bear but when you are tempted he will also provide a way out that means there is always an escape no matter what you face God always provides a way out but we have to take it so how do we live out this part of the Lord's Prayer first we must stay alert first Peter 58 tells us be sober minded and watchful your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to Devour the enemy is always watching for an opportunity so we cannot afford to live carelessly second we must guard
our influences Temptation often comes through what we allow in our minds through entertainment relationships conversations if you're struggling with lust but watching impure content you're feeding the very thing you're praying against if you're praying for patience but surrounding yourself with toxic people people you're making it harder to resist anger and third we must run to God not just away from sin too many people try to resist temptation In Their Own Strength but the key is Not Just resisting it's replacing James 4:7 says submit to God resist the devil and he will flee from you notice
the order first submit to God then resist you don't just fight sin you fill yourself with something stronger so the question is are you just reacting to Temptation or are you praying against it before it comes are you staying spiritually alert or are you walking into the enemy's traps without armor Jesus gave us this part of the prayer for a reason because temptation is real the battle is real and if we do not prepare we will fall but the good news God has already given us the weapons we need to win the question is will
we use them if Jesus tells us to pray against Temptation then this next part of the Lord's Prayer takes it even further but Deliver Us from Evil not just avoiding sin but calling on God's power to rescue us from it this is not just a prayer for protection it is a declaration of war because evil is not an IDE idea it is not just a concept evil is real and whether we acknowledge it or not we are in a battle every single day think about it why would Jesus include this if it weren't necessary why
would he teach us to pray for deliverance if there weren't real forces at work trying to pull us away from God Ephesians 6:12 makes it clear for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against rulers against authorities against the cosmic Powers over this present Darkness against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly places in other words the real fight is not what we see it's what we don't see the battles we face in our minds in our families in our struggles are not just physical issues they have spiritual roots and yet how
often do we try to fight these battles on our own we try to overcome addiction through willpower we try to fix broken relationships with logic we try to break out of depression or anxiety by just thinking positive but Jesus knew better that's why he told us to pray this daily because Deliverance is not something we achieve by Our Own Strength it is something God does when we call on him look at Peter in Luke 22 31-32 Jesus warned him Simon Simon Satan has asked to sift you like wheat but I have prayed for you that
your faith may not fail notice what Jesus said he didn't say Peter just try harder he didn't say Peter figure it out yourself he said I have prayed for you because the only way Peter could withstand the enemy's attack was through the power of God and yet Peter Still tried to rely on himself he told Jesus Lord I am ready to go with you to prison and to death but hours later he denied Jesus three times this is what happens when we fight spiritual battles with human strength we fail but now contrast that with the
people of Israel in Exodus 14 when they were trapped at the Red Sea with Pharaoh's Army behind them they had no weapons no strategy no way out and Moses told them the Lord will fight for you you need only to be still and what happened God parted the sea he delivered them this is what Jesus is teaching Us in this prayer Deliverance is not something we achieve it is something we receive it is God stepping in when we call on him and this applies to every area of Our Lives struggling with addiction you don't just
need more self-control you need Deliverance Fighting Fear anxiety depression you don't just need good advice you need Divine rescue feeling trapped in cycles of sin you don't just need to try harder you need the power of God to break those chains this is why the enemy works so hard to keep us from praying because he knows that when we call on God for deliverance chains break strongholds collapse Darkness flees Psalm 515 says call on me in the day of trouble I will deliver you and you will honor me this is not just a nice idea
it is a promise so how do we live this out first we must recognize that we need God's power every single day Deliverance is not a one-time thing it is a daily dependence on him second we must stop fighting alone there is a reason Jesus said when you pray say Deliver Us from evil not just deliver me but us because we are not meant to fight in isolation we need a community of Believers praying for each other standing in the gap for one another and third we must trust that God is already working on our
behalf sometimes Deliverance is instant other times it is a process but either way God is faithful so the question is are you trying to fight alone or are you called calling on God for deliverance because the battles you're facing are bigger than you but the god you serve is greater than every attack of the enemy and when you pray Deliver Us from Evil you are not just speaking words you are calling on the very power of Heaven to fight for you and that changes everything if asking God for deliverance is calling on his power then
this final line of the Lord's Prayer is the ultimate Declaration of that power for yours is the kingdom the power and the glory forever it is not just a closing phrase it is a Battle Cry a proclamation of Victory a reminder that no matter what happens no matter what battles we fight god reigns Supreme Jesus did not teach us to end this prayer with fear doubt or uncertainty he did not say for I hope you will help me or for maybe you have control he taught us to end in confidence for yours is the kingdom
the power and the glory Forever This is a statement of certainty a declaration that despite what we see despite what we feel God's Reign is eternal this is critical because prayer is not just about asking it is about aligning aligning our hearts with God's truth aligning our perspective with his reality and when we end in worship when we Proclaim his authority we are shifting our Focus from our problems to his power think about how different your prayers would be if they ended this way instead of finishing with God I don't know what to do you
would end with but yours is the kingdom meaning I don't have control but you do instead of finishing with Lord I feel so weak you would end with but yours is the power meaning I may not have strength but you do instead of finishing with God I'm scared of what's coming you would end with but yours is the glory forever meaning this world is temporary but your Reign is eternal this is exactly what king Jehoshaphat did in 2 Chronicles 20 when his enemies were closing in when it looked like defeat was in inevitable what did
he do he prayed he acknowledged that he had no power of his own but then instead of panicking he ended with worship the entire Army of Judah praised God before the battle was even won and what happened God caused their enemies to turn against each other and Judah didn't even have to fight because the battle was never theirs it was the Lord's this is what Jesus was teaching the the prayer does not end with us begging it ends with us declaring declaring that God already Reigns declaring that his power is already greater than our struggles
declaring that no matter what happens he has the final Victory and this is so important because we live in a world that tries to convince us that God is not in control that darkness is winning that chaos is reigning but when we pray thee these words we push back against that lie we remind our souls of the truth the kingdom is his the power is his the glory is his forever so how do we live this out first we must learn to end every prayer in faith no matter what you are going through declare God's
sovereignty end with confidence not uncertainty second we must remember that Victory does not always look like we expect sometimes God delivers instantly sometimes he works through the process but either way he reigns and third we must let this truth shape how we live if we truly believe his is the kingdom the power and the glory then why do we live in fear why do we hesitate to trust why do we let circumstances Shake us because if we really believe this then it changes everything when you walk into a difficult situation you don't walk in defeated
you walk in knowing that that God's kingdom is unshakable when you face a battle that feels too big for you you don't shrink back you stand firm knowing that God's power is greater when the world tries to convince you that darkness is winning you don't lose hope you remind yourself that his glory is Forever This is why Jesus ended the prayer this way it is not just a closing line it is a declaration it is the final word over every circumstance every battle every fear for yours is the kingdom the power and the glory forever
no matter what happens in this world no matter what you face in your life God Reigns and that is why we pray if we understand what Jesus was teaching then this prayer is not just something we say it is something we live the most important lesson we got from going through the Lord's Prayer is this prayer is not about changing God's mind it's about changing us think about that how often do we pray as if we are trying to convince God to do something as if we need to persuade him to care about our needs
but Jesus didn't give us a prayer of persuasion he gave us a prayer of alignment a prayer that when prayed with understanding reshapes our priorities refocuses our hearts and reenters our faith on God's power not our problems this is why Jesus didn't teach his disciples to pray for their kingdoms to grow for their will to be done for their success to come he taught them to pray first for God's kingdom first for his will first for his presence because when we pray like this we are no longer just asking God to change our circumstances we
are asking him to change us so how do we apply this prayer in our daily lives first we must approach prayer differently prayer is not a monologue it's a conversation too often we treat prayer like a checklist we say our part list our requests and then move on but what if we prayed the way Jesus taught what if we started by acknowledging God's presence what if we truly hallowed his name sat in awe of who he is before we ever asked for anything what if we took time to listen instead of just speaking second we
must live out what we pray if we pray your will be done then we must surrender our own we cannot pray for God's Will and then refuse to follow it we cannot ask for Daily Bread while still worrying about tomorrow we cannot ask for forgiveness while holding on to bitterness and third we must let this prayer shape how we see the world every part of this prayer challenges is the way Society teaches us to think the world tells us to be self-sufficient Jesus tells us to rely on the Father the world tells us to build
our own kingdoms Jesus tells us to seek God's first the world tells us to demand Justice Jesus tells us to forgive this is why the Lord's Prayer is so powerful it is not just words it is a lifestyle and if we truly live it out it will change everything imagine what would happen if we stopped praying for our own agendas and started praying for God's kingdom to come imagine if we stopped trying to control everything and instead trusted God's daily provision imagine if we truly forgave others the way we expect God to forgive us imagine
if we stopped fighting spiritual battles in our own strength and instead called on God to Deliver Us from Evil this prayer is an invitation an invitation to live differently to think differently to trust differently so the real question is are we truly praying the way Jesus taught or have we been reciting words without understanding their weight because once you understand it once you truly grasp the depth of what Jesus was teaching you will never pray the same way again you will never approach God the same way again and you will realize that the Lord's Prayer
is not just something we repeat it is the battlecry of those who live by faith if the Lord's Prayer has taught us anything it's that prayer was never meant to be just a habit it was meant to be a weapon a strategy a Lifeline to the father but for so many of us prayer has become routine something we say because we were taught to without ever realizing ing the power behind it the most important lesson we got from going through the Lord's Prayer is this prayer is not just about speaking it's about surrendering think about
that Jesus didn't give his disciples a prayer to Simply repeat he gave them a model a blueprint for how to pray in a way that shifts the atmosphere aligns their hearts with God's Will and prepares them for Spiritual battle this prayer was meant to change us not just be recited out of obligation so the real question is are you just reciting words or are you truly praying because there's a difference when we pray Our Father in Heaven do we actually pause to recognize that we are speaking to the creator of the universe yet he calls
us his children when we say Hallowed Be Your Name do we mean it do we actually honor his name in The Way We Live the way we speak the way we think when we pray your kingdom come your will be done do we truly want his will or are we secretly hoping he will bless our plans instead what about give us this day our daily bread are we really trusting God for today or are we so consumed with worrying about tomorrow that we don't even recognize his provision in the present and when we say forgive
us our debts as we forgive our debtors do we really want that because if we're honest some of us are still holding on to grudges still clinging to offenses still refusing to extend the same Mercy we are desperately asking from God these are not just words this is a battlecry a declaration of dependence on God a surrender to his will a commitment to live differently so let's make this personal which part of the Lord's Prayer Will you pray differently after today maybe for you it's surrendering your will to God instead of trying to control everything
maybe it's learning to trust him for daily provision instead of being consumed with fear about the future maybe it's the call to forgive to finally let go of that bitterness that has been poisoning your soul for far too long or maybe just maybe the biggest shift shft in your prayer life will come when you stop treating this as a ritual and start praying it with expectation with understanding with faith because once you truly grasp the depth of this prayer you will never pray the same way again and that is the challenge to stop just saying
this prayer and start living it so as we close I want you to reflect are you just reciting words or are you truly praying because the difference between those two things will determine how much power your prayers actually carry if there's one thing we've learned from The Lord's Prayer it's that this isn't just a collection of words it's a road map a battle plan a declaration of dependence on God and now as we close we aren't just going to talk about this prayer we are going to pray it the way Jesus intended with power without
understanding with faith so wherever you are right now pause still your heart let these words sink in not just into your mind but into your soul Our Father in Heaven God we come before you as your children not as orphans not as strangers but as Sons and Daughters of the most high you are not distant you are not unreachable you are our father and we trust you Hallowed Be Your Name Lord we honor you we declare That You Are Holy that your name is above every name May Our Lives reflect that Holiness May the way
we speak think and act bring glory to your name not dishonor your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven father we surrender not our will but yours let your kingdom rule in our lives in our homes in our cities let your righteousness transform us we don't just want to pray about your kingdom we want to live it give us this day our daily bread Lord we trust you for today not just for food but for every need provision wisdom strength peace teach us to stop obsessing over the future and
to see how you are providing for us in this very moment forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors God we ask for your mercy we have sinned we have fallen short but just as you forgive us we choose right now to forgive those who have wronged us even the ones who don't deserve it even the ones who haven't apologized we release it we let it go because your forgiveness is greater lead us not into temptation but Deliver Us from Evil father we need your strength the enemy prows like a lion waiting to destroy
temptation is everywhere but we know you have already made a way out keep us from falling guard our hearts our minds our families cover us with your protection for yours is the kingdom the power and the glory forever Lord you Reign no matter what happens in this world no matter what struggles we face you are on the throne our hope is in you our trust is in you and we will praise you today tomorrow and forever and if you prayed that with an open heart heart you didn't just recite a prayer you just activated it
so from now on when you pray the Lord's Prayer don't just say it mean it let it transform your life let it shift the way you think the way you live the way you walk with God and if this message has spoken to you if you want to go deeper in your prayer life check out the ebooks we've Linked In the description these resources are designed to help you grow to take what you've learned today and apply it daily and before you go send this video to someone who needs to hear it because prayer isn't
