![Psalm 73:25–26
[25] Whom have I in heaven but you?
And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.
[26] My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65834a483128e40ef23f31fa/1776002587733-7TUS3G49ASQG1EP9416K/image-asset.jpeg)
Matthew 6:9-10 shows us that when Jesus teaches his people to pray, he begins not with our desires but with God's glory—that his name be hallowed, his kingdom come, and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10 shows us that when Jesus teaches his people to pray, he begins not with our desires but with God's glory—that his name be hallowed, his kingdom come, and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Left to ourselves we often treat prayer as a transaction, coming to God to get something. Jesus turns that on its head, calling his people to begin in worship and to find their deepest good in glorifying and enjoying God. Such a prayer of surrender is beyond us apart from His Spirit, but we can pray it because Jesus prayed it first and prayed it to the end—“not my will, but yours be done”—and in that surrender he won our salvation, so that we now come to God praising, trusting, and surrendering to him as our Father.
