“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
Matthew 6:9–10
Reflection
Jesus opened the model prayer with worship, not petition. Before we bring our needs, we acknowledge who God is — Father, holy, sovereign. This order matters: when our prayers begin with God's greatness, our requests naturally become smaller and more surrendered. "Thy will be done" is the hinge of the whole prayer — it aligns our desires with His purposes rather than asking Him to bless our own agendas.
Today's Prayer
“Our Father, hallowed be Your name — let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in my life this day.”
