Lord's Prayer

How often do we repeat the Lord's Prayer without really thinking of it? Consider taking time to really think about the words.

You can simply read it phrase by phrase, thinking about the words. When you have time, sit quietly with the prayer and meditate on each line. You can actaully take time to rewrite each line using your own words. Another thing to consider is to write each line and underneath write what it means to you.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our tresspasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
