I have recently been thinking about what it means to pray the Lord’s Prayer.
I find it helpful to start with the Lord’ Prayer, and use it to pray freely around the themes it brings out.
For example.
| Modern Lords Prayer | When I Pray |
|---|---|
| Our Father in heaven, may your hold name be honoured | Heavenly Dad. You are 100% pure and good - may we speak of you with honour and respect |
| May your kingdom come, may your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. | You want a world full of love and forgiveness -- bring it on Lord, and soon. May earth become like heaven. |
| Give us today what we really need | Please give us each day what we really need -- food for body, mind and spirit. Save us from the evils of greed, selfishness and spiritual decay. |
| Forgive us all wrong we have ever done, as we now forgive all the wrong others have done to us. | Forgive us when we fall for these things. Because you promise to forgive us when we ask, we forgive anyone else who has wronged us. -- That's only fair. |
| Please don't try us out in tough ways, but rescue us from Evil. | Please don't test our sincerity in tough ways but protect us from evil. |
| Your's is the ultimate kingdom, all power and authority are yours, always and forever. Amen. | You have the Power to create and destroy, to forgive and condemn, but you love us! You're amazing. You blow our minds. WOW! |
