The LORD's Prayer

Yours Will be Done

Day 1: Our Father's Family
Reading:  Galatians 3:26-29, Ephesians 2:19-22

The Lord's Prayer begins with "Our Father," reminding us that we are part of God's family. Reflect on what it means to be a child of God and a sibling to all believers. How does this perspective change the way you view others, especially those different from you? Today, make an effort to reach out to a fellow believer you don't know well, recognizing them as family in Christ.
Day 2: Hallowing God's Name
Reading: Isaiah 6:1-8, Revelation 4:8-11

When we pray "hallowed be thy name," we're asking God to make His name holy through us. Consider how your life reflects God's holiness. Are there areas where you fall short? Ask God to work in you, making you a living testimony to His holiness. Choose one way today to honor God's name in your actions or words.
Day 3: Surrendering to God's Will
Reading: Luke 22:39-46, Romans 12:1-2

Praying "thy will be done" is a radical act of surrender. Like Queen Esther, we're called to put God's will above our own, even when it's difficult or dangerous. Reflect on areas in your life where you struggle to submit to God's will. What fears or desires hold you back? Spend time in prayer, asking for the strength to say, like Esther,
"If I perish, I perish" in pursuit of God's will.
Day 4: Kingdom Come
Reading: Matthew 6:31-34, Colossians 3:1-4

When we pray for God's kingdom to come, we're asking for His perfect reign to be established on earth. How can you be an agent of God's kingdom today? Look for opportunities to show love, promote justice, or bring peace in your sphere of influence. Remember, every act of kindness and righteousness is a glimpse of
God's kingdom breaking through.
Day 5: Daily Bread and Dependence
Reading: Exodus 16:11-18, John 6:32-35

The petition for "daily bread" reminds us of our constant dependence on God. In a world that values self-sufficiency, it can be challenging to admit our need. Reflect on how God has provided for you, not just materially but spiritually and emotionally. Practice gratitude today, thanking God for His provision and asking
Him to increase your trust in His care.
