The Lord’s Prayer, Lent 2020

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Our Father, we come before You today as Your little children. We meet Your loving gaze with trust and wide-eyed wonder and expectancy… with reverence and awe.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done…On earth as it is in heaven.

Our hearts long for the realization of Your vision for us. We offer to You our entire beings, that we may be filled with Your love and light, making Your presence known on earth.

Give us this day our daily bread

We open our mouths wide, knowing it is Your joy to nourish us…. physically, emotionally spiritually and intellectually with honey from the rock.

And forgive us our trespasses

We humbly confess that we often miss the mark…we choose to be less than You have created us to be.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

In gratitude for Your mercy to us, may we offer Your mercy to others.

Lead us not into temptation

May Your guidance within us sustain us on Your perfect path of Love.

But deliver us from evil.

May Your peace stand guard over our hearts and minds.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever.

All glory to You, whose majesty is infinite, whose power is Love eternal.

Amen.
