The Lord's Prayer...Revisited

Our Father, Hallowed be Thy Name...
Our Creator, our Source, the great I Am,
And the Good which is within each of us,
I hold Your Name in high esteem and choose
To defile it not with limitations and negativities.

Thy Kingdom come...
I now feel the presence of Your Kingdom within me
And think with charity and tolerance.
I demonstrate the presence of Your Kingdom
By acting with kindness and caring,
Giving in service and speaking in Truth
With love, wisdom, and good judgement.

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven...
I accept your continual Blessing in my life
Trusting always that your Will is for my highest good
Often greater and never less
Than my own assessment of my needs.
I accept this abundance with the joy and thankfulness
Of a deserving Child of God.

Give us this day our daily bread...
I gratefully accept a daily renewal of strength
For Spirit, Mind and Body
In whatever form I may need this day.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors...
I forgive misunderstanding, wrongdoings
And condemnation in others,
Knowing that in doing so, I forgive myself as well.
I give freely in a Spirit of Service.

And leave us not in temptation, but deliver us from evil...
In every trial I am upheld
By guidance, strength and blessings
And I see opportunity for growth as I discover
The power of Your righteous answer.

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory...
For within me at all times is the Kingdom
And the Power, and the Glory of God.

Forever...
And I know this is, was and always will be so.
