Lord's Prayer Interrupted

What I'm learning about prayer...


I want a relationship with You,

Please help me see You rightly,

   

     "Our Father in heaven,"

I want to be in wonder of who You are,

Please show me enough to awe me but not kill me,

     "hallowed be your name."

I want to have Your purpose and vision,

Please open my eyes and world,

     "Your kingdom come,

     your will be done,

     on earth as it is in heaven."

I want to rely on You for my daily needs,

Please increase my trust that You do care about the every day,

     "Give us this day our daily bread,"

I want to be clean and righteous before You,

Please show me my own heart,

     "and forgive us our debts,"

I want to give as much as I receive,

Please increase my grace to others,

     "as we also have forgiven our debtors."

I want to find my safety and "next steps" in You,

Please guide my faltering feet,

     "And lead us not into temptation,

     but deliver us from evil."

You hold everything with a strong, loving hand that will not falter.

You do not change.
