Our Father, who art in heaven . . .
Hallowed be thy name. Father, may your name be known on this earth! Reveal the holiness of your name, so that it may be revered, honored, and respected among all people. Make it understood that you are Abba, the Daddy who delights in his children. Make known your mercy and grace, that all who bound in sin or sorrow would turn to you for healing and consolation. Make known your greatness, that all would praise your majesty!
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Let it come now, Father! Let your will be done in our lives. Show us your will as we listen to you in prayer and as we read your word. Give us the zeal to accomplish it here on earth, as it is in heaven. Father, free us from selfishness, fear, worry, and sorrow, and let the joy of your kingdom come into our hearts.
Give us this day our daily bread. Father, the storehouses of heaven are yours. Open them to us, and pour out the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, courage and patience, self-control and love. We hunger and thirst for you—feed us with the bread of life, your Son, Jesus. Fill us with his presence and power, his healing and compassion. Nourish us and sustain your life in us today.
Forgive us our trespasses. Forgive us our unbelief, our grumbling, and our fear. Cancel the debt we’ve amassed through our lack of discipline and restraint, and through our bitterness, resentment, and disregard for others. Father, you make all things new; make our hearts and minds new! Not just ours, but all on the face of the earth. Help us to forgive those who have hurt us as completely as we want you to forgive us.
Lead us not into temptation. Lead us in your truth, Father, and guide us. You know the things that lure us away from you and entice to compromise with the evil one. You know our weaknesses—protect us, Lord! Free us and deliver us from whatever lies and deceptions of Satan we have already consented to. All-powerful Father, hold us close, so that nothing and no one wrenches us from your loving embrace!
“Father, let the power and glory of your kingdom shine through us today, so that by our example the world would come to honor your holy name!”
Amen.
