Our Father – A Reflection

I have said the Our Father so many times that I don’t even think about the words anymore. I woke
up to that realization recently. When I stopped and reflected on the prayer, my heart spoke this.

~ Kelly

Our Father Who Art In Heaven – O Creator, you made all things in love.
All of creation is a blessing emanating from you.

Hallowed Be Thy Name – Help us to let go, to clear the space inside of
busy forgetfulness so that You can come and reside within us.

Thy Kingdom Come – Let your counsel rule our lives; unite our “I can” to
your so that, together, we can bring forth a new world of peace.

Thy Will Be Done On Earth As It Is In Heaven – As we find your love in
ours, let your heart’s fervent desire move us beyond ourselves to help
bring about a new way of being.

Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread – Grant what we need each day in
bread and insight; subsistence for the call of growing life.

And Forgive Us Our Trespassers As We Forgive Those Who Trespass
Against Us –
Loose the cords of mistakes that bind us, as we release the
strands we hold of other’s guilt.

And Lead Us Not Into Temptation, But Deliver Us From Evil – Don’t let
surface things distract us; free us from the things that hold us back from
our true purpose.
