We will use the Scriptures provided below, beginning with Matthew 6:9–10: “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come…”, to learn how to pray using the Model Prayer as our biblical framework. All prayers will begin with verses 9–10 of the Model Prayer, acknowledging who God is, honoring His name, and submitting our prayers to His Kingdom and His will. As you develop your prayer, you are expected to incorporate some of the Scripture verses provided below. You may also use additional Scriptures that are not provided, as long as you correctly exegete the Scripture—meaning you understand and apply the verse according to its proper biblical context and intended meaning. Remember: We are not simply inserting Scriptures into our prayers; we are learning to pray from a correct understanding of God’s Word. Let Scripture shape the prayer rather than taking a verse out of context to support what we want to say. Matthew 6:9-13, New King James Version 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. [a]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 📖“Hallowed be thy name” 🙏Pray the Holiness of the Name🙏 Exodus 3:14–15 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you... this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. Revelation 4:8 ...and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
