A Prayer To Put God First | Daily Morning Prayer Guide | 21 Days Of Prayer (Day 13/21)

What if the way we begin our prayers matters more than we realize? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus doesn’t start with our needs, our stress, or our requests—He starts with worship. “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name.” This guided prayer invites us to reorder our hearts by putting God first. Before we ask for daily bread, forgiveness, or deliverance, we pause to praise—to name who God is, to honor His holiness, and to align our hearts with heaven’s perspective. Praise isn’t driven by emotion or circumstance, but by conviction: God is worthy no matter what we’re walking through. Today we practice beginning prayer the way Jesus taught—approaching God as Father and lifting His name above everything else. As we do, we discover how praise reshapes our focus, steadies our faith, and leads us into deeper prayer. Join us as we pray through the Sermon on the Mount and learn how to start our prayers with worship. 00:00 – Why Starting Prayer With Yourself Misses the Point 00:45 – Jesus Teaches Us How to Pray (Matthew 6) 01:40 – “Hallowed Be Your Name” Explained 02:55 – Praise Is Conviction, Not Emotion 04:10 – Praising God in Difficult Circumstances 05:20 – When Praise Comes Before Breakthrough 06:05 – Guided Prayer: Honoring God First 07:45 – Declaring the Names and Attributes of God 08:45 – Closing Prayer & Invitation to Praise Daily Music Credits: Fracture (feat.
