We are a moment

A Place Apart has updated their website. I wanted to post a prayer from their site that really connected with me. It is a reworking of the Lord's Prayer. Read with an intentional heart...Be Blessed.

Dearest Father,

Creator God,

Embracing Mother,

Dwelling in the realm beyond our present seeing,

Your Spirit presence

Within every created thing.

May your name be reverenced in Holy honor.

May your reign be established,

The reign of justice and peace,

The reign of healing and well being,

Your will for all people,

Begun in Christ,

May it now be completed

On Earth,

As it is within the realm beyond our present sight,

Known in some deep place within us,

Half remembered from our beginning,

Longed for as our truest home.

We seek your provision,

The bread of our daily needs.

Forgive us the wrongs we have committed

Against others,

Against your creation,

Against your created order,

Against ourselves,

Against you.

In light of our understanding of your forgiveness of us

We cannot help but forgive all who have committed wrongs

Against us.

Lead us away from desires

That would be harmful to us or others.

Rescue us from the hold evil has on us.

Nurture in us desire

That expresses a passion for living fully.

Your reign is life,

Yours is enduring power,

Yours the glory that does not fade.

We are a moment,

You are forever. Amen
