Lord's Prayer

Growing up my Mom had a porcelain version of "The Praying Hands" that sort of resembled the photo above. I have no idea what ever happened to it!

Our Pastor has been doing a series on prayer. Unfortunately, I have missed a sermon by being in New Mexico. His teachings on the Lord's prayer reminded me of the contemporary version:

Our Father in heaven

hallowed be your Name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.

Give us today our dialy bread.

Forgive us our sins

as we forgive thsoe who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial,

and deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

and the glory are yours,

now and forever. Amen.

Then J. Bill Brent quoted this version by John Fischer which was also set to music. I would love to hear it sometime! I could not find a video to post.

Holy Father hear our prayer

Keep us always in Your care

May Your kingdom come to us

And may we learn how to trust

Do Your will among us now

As we here before You bow

Give to us but what we need

As upon Your word we feed

Keep us from the things that do You wrong

When we're weak because we think we're strong

Save us from our selfish desire

Fill us and with your love inspire

Honor greatness belong to you

Love and peace and mercy too

Praise to you again and again

Have you prayed today? How do you pray the model that Jesus gave us?
