Prayer—when you know how—is one of the most exciting and well-spent activities you can do!

Jesus taught us a manner of prayer in the Lord’s Prayer.  But the Holy Spirit has shown me that Jesus also taught us the Lord’s Prayer as an outline.  The Holy Spirit has shown me that we are to expand on that outline with His guidance.  He wants to participate in our prayer and make it specific in our day.  He wants it to touch us and others in very personal ways.

The Lord’s Prayer consists of six parts that correspond to major areas of your life.  Listed in this pamphlet are those six parts, as well as things the Holy Spirit may quicken to you within each area for your personal prayers.

The time you spend on each section of prayer will vary from day to day, according to your needs and the leading of the Holy Spirit.  I recommend that you pray all the way through the entire Lord’s Prayer each day, even if you have to finish it later in the day.

1 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name” (Matthew 6:9b NKJV).

Use this first part of your prayer get in tune with the Holy Spirit for your day.  Thank God that because of the hallowed name of Jesus Christ:

  • You have been forgiven of sin.
  • You have been cleansed with Christ’s blood.
  • You have a new nature of righteousness.
  • You have the Holy Spirit to lead you.
  • You have healing.
  • You have victory!

Because of the name of Jesus, you have the provision for your every need.

2 “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10 NKJV).

Now pray that the work of God’s kingdom will be active in these areas of your life:

  • Your relationship with God.
  • Your relationship with spouse, children, and any other family member.
  • Your job/ministry.

You can also pray each of the above for your family members and their relationship with God, etc.  The Holy Spirit may lead you to pray for specific people, whether family, friends, or work associates.

3 “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11 NKJV).

Pray that you will receive:

  • The spiritual bread of revelation knowledge.
  • The physical bread of healing.
  • The material bread of finances.
  1. “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” (Matthew 6:12 NKJV)

Ask God to show you where you have trespassed.

  • Ask God to forgive you for those parts of your life that have not lined up with His Word. Yield those parts of your life to Him.
  • Forgive others who have sinned against you.
  • If you have a difficult time forgiving, release the gift of forgiveness.
  1. “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (Matthew 6:13a NKJV)
  • Ask God to lead you away from temptation in the path of His perfect will for your day.
  • Pray that your family members and job/ministry will be delivered from evil before it even happens!

During your day if the devil tries to tempt you, say, “I have already been delivered from that temptation!”

  1. “For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13b NKJV)

Praise the Lord! And now, because you are a temple of prayer, the power of God will flow through your day.
