The Lord's Prayer




Our Father in Heaven,
Let your name be honored and set apart as Holy.
Please, we want your Kingdom to fully come to earth.
We want your will to be done here as it is already done in heaven.
We ask that you continue to give us food for our bodies
and provide for the physical needs we have.
We also ask that you forgive us,
and restore us to the right relationship with you that our sin has hindered.
We will forgive others like you have forgiven us.
Keep us from Temptation,
you know how weak we are.
Please spare us from the evil one in this world
who wants to kill steal and destroy.
You alone can do these things,
because you have the power.
It is your kingdom.
You are glorious!
You are eternal, unchanging God!
Bless your name!
So be it.



Loving Creator
we honor you,
and we honor all that you have made.
Renew the whole world
in the image
 of your love.
Give us what we need for today,
and a hunger to see the whole world fed. Strengthen us for what lies ahead;
heal us from the hurts of the past;
give us courage to follow your call in this moment. For your love is the only power,
the only home, the only honor we need,
in this world and in the world to come.
Amen.




Dear Father always near us, may your name be treasured and loved,
may your rule be completed in us-
may your will be done here on earth in
just the way it is done in heaven.
Give us today the things we need today,
and forgive us our sins and impositions on you
as we are forgiving all who in any way offend us.
Please don’t put us through trials,
but deliver us from everything bad.
Because you are the one in charge,
and you have all the power, and the glory too is all yours-forever-
which is just the way we want it!



O Father in heaven (may Your name be glorified!)
May Your reign be established and Your will accomplished
In this earth, just as it is in Your heaven.
Please give me today just what I need for today,
And forgive my sins, in exactly the same way
That I forgive those who have wronged and hurt me.
Please lead me, not into testing and trial,
But rather delivering me from the Evil One.
For the rule, and the authority, and the glory
Are all Yours forever. Amen.



Dear Father always near us,
may your name be treasured and loved,
may your rule be completed in us -
may your will be done here on earth
in just the way it is done in heaven.
Give us today the things we need today,
and forgive us our sins and impositions on you
as we are forgiving all who in any way offend us.
Please don't put us through trials,
but deliver us from everything bad.
Because you are the one in charge,
and you have all the power,
and the glory too is all yours - forever -
which is just the way we want it!
