Matthew 6:9-13
In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Hallowed by Thy name
- Jehovah Jireh (My Provider)
- Jehovah Rapha (My Healer)
- Jehovah Nissi (My Victory)
- Jehovah Shalom (My Peace)

Give us this day our daily bread
- Ask God for your basic needs
- Ask God for the needs of your family
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us
- Ask God to forgive you for specific areas of your life where you have failed/sinned

Deliver us from evil

For thine is the kingdom, power and the glory

- Lord, have Your way in all these areas
- Lord, You are worthy to receive glory, honor and praise
Matthew 26:40-41 – Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
