Our Father
Loving and Sovereign Lord, we cry out to You for justice, healing and peace.
Who art in Heaven
We long for Heaven where faith, hope and love reign eternal.
Holy is Your Name
Your path is Holy, never hateful, vengeful, unjust or prejudiced.
Your Kingdom come
Your Kingdom comes as we walk justly, love mercy, and speak with reverent humility.
Your will be done
Align our planning with Your great command to treat neighbors, strangers, and aliens with the loving-kindness we seek for ourselves.
On earth as it is in Heaven
Lord, let us not wait for Heaven to do Your will.
Give us this day our daily bread
Use us to nourish the homeless veterans, refugees, children taught hate, grieving, wounded, terrorized, and hopeless.
And forgive us our trespasses
Oh Lord, before You, every word and deed will be laid bare- forgive us.
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Stung by evil, we wrestle with forgiving. Help us release even the wicked into Your perfect love and judgment.
And lead us not onto tempting paths
Holy Shepherd, teach us to resist injustice, reject evil, and restore peace.
But deliver us from evil
Oh, that You might slay any wickedness within us and our enemies.
For Yours is the Kingdom
One day Lord, Your love will win.
And the Power
Lord, empower us to overcome evil with good.
And Your glory will reign forever and ever
Lord, let Your unapproachable Holiness light our night and restore our sight. Shine through and in us forever.
Amen
Lord, So be it in our souls.
