A new twist on the Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
  • Spend some time praising God
  • What are you thankful for?
  • Tell God how awesome he is.
May your Kingdom come soon.  May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
  • Ask God to have His will in your heart, life and future
  • Ask God to have His will in your family
  • Ask God to have His will in your friendships
  • Ask God to have His will in your school/workplace
Give us today the food we need,
  • Ask God to provide Spiritual food:
  • Knowledge?
  • Wisdom?
  • Love?
  • Kindness?
  • Patience?
  • Courage?
  • Confidence?
  • Soft hearts?
  • Ears to hear?
 And forgive us our sins,
  • What sins do you need to confess to God?  Tell him.
As we have forgiven those who sin against us.
  • Who do you need to forgive?
  • Who are you mad at?
  • Who do you dislike?
  • Ask God to hlep you see that person through God's eyes.
And don't let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
  • Ask God to keep us from the temptations of our lives -
  • Inside temptations: distraction, laziness, boredom, hard feelings, bad attitudes, selfishness.
  • Outside temptations: gossip, pornography, cheating, swearing
