A Few Thoughts on The Lord's Prayer...
PRAY OUR
if my faith has not room for others and their needs.
PRAY FATHER
if I do not demonstrate this relationship to God in my daily living.
PRAY WHO ART IN HEAVEN
if all of my interests and pursuits are in earthly things.
PRAY HALLOWED BE THY NAME
if I am not striving, with God's help, to be holy.
PRAY THY KINGDOM COME
if I am unwilling to accept God's rule in my life.
PRAY ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN
unless I am truly ready to give myself to God's service here and now.
PRAY GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD
without expending honest effort for it, or if I would withhold from my neighbor the bread that I receive.
PRAY FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US
if I continue to harbor a grudge against anyone.
PRAY LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
if I deliberately choose to remain in a situation where I am likely to be tempted.
PRAY DELIVER US FROM EVIL
if I am not prepared to fight evil with my life and prayer.
PRAY THINE IS THE KINGDOM
if I am unwilling to obey the King.
PRAY THINE IS THE POWER AND THE GLORY
if I am seeking power for myself and my own glory first.
PRAY FOREVER AND EVER
if I am too anxious about each day's affairs.
PRAY AMEN
unless I honestly say, "Cost what it may, this is my prayer."
