Lord's Prayer

Heavenly Father,

You sit enthroned in heaven. You are greater than anything else. Your glory shines forth overshadowing the brightest stars. We sit before you in awe. We boldly petition you, for you have made us your beloved children. We have no right to ask for anything in ourselves, but in your son, we can ask for all things. So we ask for your will to permeate this fallen world. Rain down justice on our world that everything wrong will be made right. Fill the earth with grace as the waters fill the oceans. We are utterly dependent on you for everything. We ask not for opulence. Give us what we need and a spirit of contentment to thank you for it. Attune our hearts to your love so we may know how great it is. Then make us conduits of love to this cold world. Forgive us for all our myriad failures. Do not let them be a hindrance to our fellowship with you. Keep us from temptation by both protecting us from the evil one and turning our affections away from worldly pleasures. In all things, may we glorify you today.

In the name of our great king. Amen.
