The Lord’s Prayer in Lent: Spiritual Practices

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 sins, 
As we forgive those who have sinned against us.  
And lead us not into temptation. 
But deliver us from evil. 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, 
And the glory, forever. Amen. 

Dear Father, we acknowledge that You live in a high and holy place. We bless the holiness of  Your name. In this season of Lent we ask that Your kingdom would come here on earth as it is in the heavens – Your dwelling place. May Your good and perfect will be done. We ask Lord, that You would give us all that we need to set apart this journey toward Easter. Teach us the rhythm of confession and forgive us for all our sins and give us grace to forgive others. Give us boldness to confess any unholy posture toward those who have sinned against us. Lead us not into temptation by giving us grace and the understanding of its power. Deliver us from evil – for with You only goodness, and glory, and power and grace belong to you. Only You. Amen.
