The Lord's Prayer - A Paraphrase

The Lord's Prayer: Our Hope in the Present Moment.

Our Heavenly Parent and Creator, we praise You.
Our hope is that Your ways of Love and Wisdom will be manifested in our earthly lives.
That Redemption will come and heal us and the earth that we live on.
Please give us what we need every day.
Heavenly food for our souls, earthly food for our bodies, and connect us to the deep spiritual knowledge of You, from moment to moment.
Forgive the ways in which we choose to stray from Your ways and our mistakes that separate us from ourselves, from You, from others.
Give us the grace to forgive others and let mercy reign in our hearts.
Help us to discern Your ways, and protect us with the deep knowing that Your Spirit gives.
Everything is Yours and every good thing comes from Your hand.
You are the everlasting, indescribable Lord, to whom all praise and glory is due.
Amen.
So be it.
