Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed by 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.
Our Father, who has given us the right to call You ‘Abba, dear Father”, we honor Your name- We hallow it, there is no other name like Yours. In this season of waiting for Your kingdom to come in glory we worship You. We long for Your kingdom to come in all its fullness, that Your will would be done, now and always. Your presence is our food and our portion, and “so we will wait for you” (Lam 3:24). Lord, would You give us hearts to forgive those who have sinned against us – that there might be nothing that stands in our way of receiving all the grace and life You have given us. We grow weary Lord, but we pray that through Your Spirit, You would deliver us from all temptation and evil. Because of Your kingdom, and power, and glory we can rest in confidence that “we will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13). Amen.
