Praying The Lord's Prayer
I cannot say
'Our'
if I live only for myself.
I cannot say
'Father'
if I do not endeavor
each day to act like God's child.
I cannot say
'who art in heaven'
if I am
not striving for holiness.
I cannot say
'Thy kingdom come'
if I am
not doing all in my power to hasten
that wonderful event.
I cannot say
'on earth as it is in heaven'
if I'll not serve God here and now.
I cannot say '
give us this day our daily
bread'
if I am dishonest or seek
things by subterfuge.
I cannot say
'forgive us our trespasses'
if I
harbour a grudge against anyone.
I cannot say
'lead us not into temptation'
if I deliberately place myself in its path.
I cannot say
'deliver us from evil'
if I do
not put on the whole armour of God.
I cannot say
'Thine is the kingdom'
if I do
not give the King the loyalty due Him
from a faithful subject.
I cannot attribute to God
'the power'
if I
fear what people may do.
I cannot ascribe to God
'the glory'
if I'm
seeking honour only for myself.
I cannot say
'forever'
if the horizon of my
life is bounded completely by time.
Let us all pray honestly and humbly before the
One who loves us completely.
