Amen Me!
Blueprint for Prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
A departure from the daily meditation today dear reader. I found myself thinking on this early this morning, and have need to share this with you.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye, Our
father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done even in
earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive
our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
from evil: for thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory for ever. Amen.
The Lord’s prayer, beautiful, succinct and to the point. It is probably the one of the best known of not only to millions of Christians that recite it daily, but also to non-believers as well. However it is more than that, it is a blueprint, a guide as to how one should pray. Allow me, a layperson at best, to share what it brings to me.
Verse 9
First we are instructed to give acknowledgement to our Creator, our Father, and to praise his name by recognizing that it is hallowed or holy. It speaks of His righteousness and His authority because He is our Creator, our Father.
Psalm 8:1, 9
Verse 10
His kingdom is all the universe, it includes and is not limited to the heavens and the earth. It is His alone to bring about and at a time of His choosing. His will, will be done, not only in the realm of heaven, but in realm of the earth as well.
Psalm 47:, Psalm 136:26
Verse 11
The Father knows of our needs and he will supply us both for our bodies AND our spirits, feeding us daily with the bread of life. Ask him, and he shall give liberally the blessings of heaven upon us.
Luke 12:24, Matthew 4:4, John 6:33, 35, 48, 51
Verse 12
Forgiveness is a cornerstone of God’s righteousness, and His being, for without His Grace, we would still be dead in sin. As such we are instructed to be as He is, forgiving. Do this and we will likewise be forgiven as well
Mark 11:25-26, Psalm 86:5, 1John 1:9
Verse 13
While the Lord will not tempt us, he allows temptation to be brought to bear against us, and yet he delivers us from them all and provides an escape from them. Ask Him and he will come in due season. Seek his deliverance in all things.
Deuteronomy 31:6-8, 1 Samuel 12:22, Job 1:1-12, John 14:18, John 15:7 1 Peter 5:8, James 1:5
Finally, as we leave the presence of our Heavenly Father, we again, acknowledge His sovereignty over all of HIS creation. Thank Him
