Prayer for Lead Us Not Into Temptation, But Deliver Us From Evil

Heavenly Father,
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

You are my Shepherd who leads me in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3).
So I pray, Lord—guide my steps today.
Lead me away from anything that would entice my flesh,
lure me into sin, or draw me away from Your heart.

I know that temptation is real,
but You are faithful, and You will not let me be tempted beyond what I can bear.
With every temptation, You promise to provide a way of escape,
so that I can endure it (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Help me to see the escape route.
Help me to run like Joseph ran—
away from sin, into the safety of Your presence (Genesis 39:12).

Strengthen me, Lord, in the inner man.
Let me put on the full armor of God,
so that I can stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11).
Guard my eyes, my ears, my thoughts, and my desires.
Let me not be led by the flesh, but by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16).

And deliver me, O God, from the evil one.
Rescue me from every trap, every lie, every dark force that wars against my soul.
You are my refuge and my fortress,
my God in whom I trust (Psalm 91:2).
You promise that no weapon formed against me shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17),
and that You will guard me from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Jesus, You prayed for us—not that we would be taken out of the world,
but that we would be kept from the evil one (John 17:15).
So I stand on that prayer, and I rest in Your protection.
Cover me with the blood of the Lamb.
Surround me with Your angels.
Let Your truth be my shield and buckler.

May I walk in purity.
May I stand in victory.
And may I live each moment under the authority of Your kingdom,
empowered by the Spirit,
and hidden in Christ.

In Jesus’ mighty name,

Amen. 

Prayer for Forgive Us Our Debts as We Forgive Our Debtors

Merciful Father,
Forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.

Lord, I come to You in humility,
knowing that I have sinned and fallen short of Your glory (Romans 3:23).
But I also come boldly,
knowing that through Jesus I have access to Your throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).

I confess my sins before You—
those known and unknown,
sins of action and of heart,
of words spoken and thoughts entertained.
I have missed the mark. I have wandered from Your way.
But You are faithful and just to forgive me
and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

Wash me in the blood of Jesus.
Pardon my debts, O Lord—not because I deserve it,
but because of Your mercy and the finished work of the cross.
As far as the east is from the west,
so far remove my transgressions from me (Psalm 103:12).
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).

And now, Lord, help me to forgive those who have wronged me.
Just as You have extended grace,
let me be a channel of grace.
Heal any bitterness in my heart.
Release me from the burden of unforgiveness.
I choose to let go of resentment.
I choose to bless those who hurt me,
to pray for those who persecute me (Matthew 5:44),
and to forgive, not seven times, but seventy times seven (Matthew 18:21–22).

May I never forget the parable of the unmerciful servant—
the one who was forgiven much, but would not forgive little (Matthew 18:23–35).
Lord, let me not be that man.
Let me forgive, because I have been forgiven.

Forgiveness is not always easy, Lord,
but by Your Spirit, it is possible.
Soften my heart,
stretch my grace,
and let mercy triumph over judgment (James 2:13).

I receive Your forgiveness with gratitude,
and I extend forgiveness with obedience.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen. 

Prayer for Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

Our Father in Heaven,
Give us this day our daily bread.

You are Jehovah Jireh—our Provider.
You know what I need even before I ask (Matthew 6:8),
yet You invite me to come, to trust, to ask with childlike faith.
So today, Lord, I come to You,
not in anxiety, but in dependence.
Not in fear, but in faith.

Give me this day the bread I need—
not only food for the body,
but sustenance for the soul.

Provide what is necessary for today—
enough grace for today’s challenges,
enough peace for today’s storms,
enough wisdom for today’s decisions,
enough strength for today’s work.

I don’t ask for luxury, but for sufficiency.
You said, “Do not worry about tomorrow” (Matthew 6:34),
so I won’t reach ahead in fear.
I choose the manna of today,
just as You gave Israel in the wilderness—
daily provision, fresh and faithful (Exodus 16:4).

Give me the bread that endures to eternal life—
the Bread of Heaven, Jesus Christ.
For You said, “I am the Bread of Life;
whoever comes to Me shall not hunger” (John 6:35).
Feed my spirit with Your Word,
for man does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

And Lord, as You provide for me,
help me to share what I have with those in need.
Let my blessing become someone else’s answered prayer.
Make me a channel of provision,
a witness to Your goodness,
a helper to the hungry.

Thank You for being faithful—
for filling my table, for meeting my needs,
and for being my portion forever (Psalm 73:26).

In the name of Jesus,
the Bread of Life,

Amen. 

Prayer for Your Will Be Done

Father in Heaven,
Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Not my will, but Yours be done, O Lord (Luke 22:42).
You are wise in all Your ways, perfect in all Your plans.
Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts,
and Your ways are higher than my ways (Isaiah 55:8–9).

I surrender to Your will today.
Not just the parts I understand,
not only the things I desire—
but everything You see fit to allow,
knowing You are good, faithful, and sovereign over all.

Let Your will be done in my heart.
Shape my desires to match Yours.
Strip away pride, selfishness, and resistance.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me (Psalm 51:10).

Let Your will be done in my decisions.
Teach me to acknowledge You in all my ways,
and direct my paths (Proverbs 3:5–6).
Even when Your will leads me through the fire,
like the three Hebrew boys,
I will trust You are with me (Daniel 3:25).
Even when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are near (Psalm 23:4).

Let Your will be done in the world.
Break our stubbornness.
Expose every false kingdom and lift up the name of Jesus.
Let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24).
Let mercy triumph over judgment (James 2:13).

Let Your will be done in the Church.
Refine us, purify us, unite us.
Let the bride make herself ready for the coming of the Bridegroom.
Pour out Your Spirit afresh and awaken Your people.

And Father, help me to trust Your will even when I don't understand it.
Like Job, let me say: “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him” (Job 13:15).
Like Mary, let me say: “Be it unto me according to Your word” (Luke 1:38).
Like Jesus, let me say: “Nevertheless, not my will, but Yours be done” (Luke 22:42).

Your will is good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2).
I choose to lay down my plans and pick up Your purpose.
Have Your way in me, O Lord.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen. 

Prayer for Your Kingdom Come

Our Father in Heaven,
Your Kingdom come.
Let Your rule break into the earth,
into this moment, into my life.
Let every corner of creation come under the reign of the King of kings.

Lord, I cry out for Your Kingdom to come—
Not just a place, but Your presence, Your authority, Your justice, Your peace.
As the heavens declare Your glory,
so let the earth reflect Your reign.

Let Your Kingdom come in me.
Rule in my heart, govern my mind,
direct my desires, shape my thoughts,
and lead my steps.
Let my life become an outpost of Heaven on earth.
Make me a vessel of Your Kingdom—
a carrier of love, joy, peace, patience, and truth.

Let Your Kingdom come in my home.
Let it be a sanctuary of Your peace and righteousness.
Let Your order and Your presence replace chaos and strife.
Let Your Word be honored,
and let love and humility reign among us.

Let Your Kingdom come in the Church—
revive us, unite us, sanctify us.
Purify our worship and ignite us with holy fire.
May Your will be done in the Body of Christ
as it is done in the courts of Heaven.

Let Your Kingdom come in our cities and nations.
Break the power of darkness and injustice.
Let the poor be lifted, the broken be healed,
and the oppressed go free (Isaiah 61:1).
Let righteousness and justice flow like a mighty river (Amos 5:24).

Father, we long for the day when
“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ,
and He shall reign forever and ever” (Revelation 11:15).
We await the return of Jesus,
the King on a white horse, who is Faithful and True (Revelation 19:11).

Until that day, let Your Kingdom come in power.
Advance Your Gospel.
Build Your Church.
Bring revival.
Rule over all.

Let Your Kingdom come, and let it begin with me.
In Jesus’ mighty name,
Amen.

Prayer to Hallow God's Name According to Scripture

Our Father in Heaven,

Hallowed be Your Name.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,
who was, and is, and is to come (Revelation 4:8).
I come before You with awe and reverence,
to lift up and magnify Your holy name.

Your name is glorious and awesome (Psalm 111:9).
You are exalted above all blessing and praise (Nehemiah 9:5).
I hallow You, O Lord,
by setting You apart in the highest place in my heart.
You alone are worthy, You alone are holy.

Let Your name be sanctified in my life.
Let my thoughts, my words, and my actions reflect
that I know You are holy.
May my worship rise like incense before You,
and may my heart be a temple set apart for Your glory.

As it is written, “You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy” (Leviticus 19:2),
so I pray: make me holy, even as You are holy.
Teach me to honor Your name—not only with my lips,
but in the depths of my being.
Let Your name be revered in my home,
in my relationships, in my service, and in every place I walk.

You are the Lord, high and lifted up,
the train of Your robe fills the temple (Isaiah 6:1).
The whole earth is full of Your glory,
and so I declare:
“Blessed be Your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise!” (Nehemiah 9:5)

Let Your name be hallowed not only in me,
but in all the earth.
Let every nation, tribe, and tongue declare:
“Holy is the Lord!”
Let the knowledge of Your glory fill the earth
as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).

I worship You, O God of holiness.
Be hallowed in my heart. Be hallowed in the Church.
Be hallowed in every nation.
Forever and ever, Amen.

Prayer of Entering His Gates with Thanksgiving

Heavenly Father,
I come before You today with a heart full of thanksgiving.
I enter Your gates with gratitude on my lips,
and I come into Your courts with praise.
You are good, and Your steadfast love endures forever;
Your faithfulness continues through all generations (Psalm 100:4–5).

Lord, thank You for waking me up today.
Thank You for breath in my lungs, for strength in my body,
for a sound mind, and for the opportunity to come before You.
I thank You not only for what You’ve done but for who You are.
You are my Creator, my Redeemer, my Sustainer, my King.

Thank You for salvation through Jesus Christ—
for the blood that cleanses,
for the cross that saves,
and for the resurrection that gives eternal life.
Thank You for the Holy Spirit,
my Comforter, my Counselor, my constant Guide.

I thank You for the times You protected me when I didn’t even know I was in danger,
for the prayers You answered and the ones You answered differently
because You had something better in store.
I thank You for every valley that taught me to look up,
and every mountaintop that reminded me of Your faithfulness.

Today, I bring an offering of thanksgiving.
Not of gold or silver, but of words from a grateful heart.
May my thanks be a sweet-smelling fragrance before Your throne.
May my praise open the gates of Heaven
so that I might encounter You more deeply.

Thank You for allowing me to draw near.
Thank You for welcoming me—not because of my righteousness,
but because of Your mercy.
I enter now with joy. I enter with reverence. I enter with expectation.
For where You are, there is fullness of joy,
and at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore (Psalm 16:11).

In Jesus’ holy name,

Amen.
