The Lord's Prayer with reflection

Our Father who art in Heaven
Not distant above the earth, but ever present within our Heaven here on earth

Hallowed be Thy name
May we never lose the reverence Your authority deserves, whilst we bask in the tenderness of Your love.




Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.
Lord we long to be part of that Place where Your rule is willingly in action by all who dwell there.

Give us this day our daily bread.
Father Your manifold blessings poured out upon us, constantly remind us that You are sufficient for all our needs.




And forgive us our trespasses.
Lord, how we need this reassurance as we so often choose what suits us, rather than what we hear Your Spirit telling us is best.

As we forgive those who trespass against us.
This means totally, unconditionally and without exception or future reference, for this how You deal with us.




And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
Father You know our weaknesses, You’ve forgiven us so many times; nudge us away from all that will cause us to fall. And if that isn’t possible, Lord, pick us up, change us and bring us back to You.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the power and the glory.
Everything, everyone, everywhere is Yours. You alone have the right and ability to claim allegiance from us and take the glory Lord; remind us in the birdsong, sunrise and mighty surging sea.

For ever and ever. Amen
