Christian Kindergarten, Getting Back to Basics: The Lords Prayer

The Lords Prayer

Pray, then, in this way:

Our Father in heaven, may your name be revered as holy. May your kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.

Matthew 6:9-13 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos,

Focus your light within us–make it useful:

Create your reign of unity now–

Your one desire then acts with ours, as in all light, so in all forms.

Grant what we need each day in bread and insight.

Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strands we hold of others’ guilt.

Don’t let surface things delude us, but free us from what holds us back.

From you is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do, the song that beautifies all, from age to age it renews.

Truly–power to these statements–may they be the ground from which all my actions grow: Amen
