The Lord's Prayer

Our Father: I belong to you. That's the truth from which I live and breathe today.

Who art in Heaven: You are the same yesterday, today, and every day.

Hallowed be Your name: Show yourself in my thoughts, motives, conversations, and actions toward others. Let me not disgrace your holiness. Show me that You are the peace that I need, the victory I want, the guiding security I long to feel.

Your kingdom come: Reign in my life as You rule in heaven. Come as King in righteousness, joy, and peace in the Holy Spirit.

Your will be done on earth: In my heart and my tasks, do Your will.

Give us this day our daily bread: Let me remember who puts the food on my table and gives me the air I breathe. You are my strength for each step I take.

Forgive me my sins as I forgive those who sinned against me: Help me keep short accounts, holding no offenses and no unforgiveness.

Lead me not into temptation: I don't want to act out of my weakness or wounded flesh. Where sin and the need for healing abound, Your grace much more abounds.

Deliver me from evil: Protect me from harm, because greater are You that is in me than my adversary who is in the world.

Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever: You have all power and all ability to do all things well, forever and forever. Amen!
