Our Father who art in heaven

Oh Lord, my God, My Father! You are Lord over everything.  You are my perfect Father. You are God of the universe, yet you chose me. You have adopted me! You love me. You take care of me.  I love You.  You take my breath away. I stand in awe of You.

Hallowed be thy name.

Jesus, Your name is above all the earth.  Your name is holy. Your name is power. Your name is righteous. Your name is salvation. Your name is everything to me.

Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.

Let Your will reign supreme over my life, in every kingdom of my heart.  Take control over every secret part of my heart.  Empty me of all the baggage, of all the hurts, of all the anger, of all the ugliness, of all the jealousy, of everything that is ungodly.  Empty me of my SELF.  Fill me with Your Holy Spirit.  Fill me with Your love.  Let Your Spirit have it's way in me.  Let the fruit of Your Spirit abound in my life.

Give us this day our daily bread.

You know everything that I need each day.  Please help us to pay our bills, to meet our deadlines, to find bargains and good deals. Help us to be wise in our finances. Help us to make good choices.  Help us to be good stewards of that which You provide for us.  Give us strength each day to do the jobs that You have provided for us.  Help us to trust in You to meet our needs every day, and not to worry or fret.  Help us not to be selfish and hoard that which You give to us, but to use it to bless those around us who are in need.  Bless us with health.  Bless us with sound minds.  Bless our marriage. Bless our children. Bless our relationships with others.

And forgive us our debts

I am truly sorry for the wrongs that I have done, for the things I may have thought, or said. Forgive me and wash me clean. Renew my heart. Renew my mind. Cleanse me, and sanctify me I pray.

As we forgive our debtors

Help me to forgive those who have hurt me.  Help me to let the hurts go. Help me to give people the benefit of the doubt. Help me to have compassion for the pain in them that may have caused them to hurt me. Help me to have a forgiving spirit, to continually forgive, to walk in forgiveness, as You so graciously forgive me.

And lead us not into temptation

Holy Spirit guide my ways.  Keep me from places that may cause me to stumble. Keep my mind pure, and my focus on You.  Help me to establish boundaries in my life that will keep me pure.

But deliver us from evil

Please keep Your hand of protection upon me, my husband and my children.  Put a hedge around about us that no harm would come to us. Cover us with Your blood.  Set Your angels to camp around us.  Keep our children safe as they walk to school, as they are at school. Keep my husband safe as he is at work. Keep us safe as we sleep in our beds, as we walk about, and as we drive to and fro. Be with us always.

For thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever

You are Lord of all. You are God alone. You have all power. You are more than able to meet our needs. You are more than enough. Your glory fills the earth. You are worthy of all our praise. You deserve all our worship.. You are my Rock, my fortress, my strong tower. In a world where all is shifting sand, You never change.  Thank you Lord for all You are. Thank You Lord for all You've done. Thank You Lord for all You are doing.  Thank You Lord for all that You are going to do.

Amen

I ask all of these things in Jesus name

Amen
