Paraphrasing the Lord's Prayer...

It was good to have some time to try and paraphrase the Lord's Prayer at a recent retreat day we put together for the cadets. Quite an interesting exercise that helps keep a wonderful curriculum for life from become perfunctory and a bland memory exercise.

You who is beyond my dimension, existing in a time and space not my own, may I know what it is to revere your name.

Your way of living and being come, your design for life be completed here with us as you intend.

Give to us all that we need to live and help us to dismiss from our minds the hurts inflicted upon us in the way you dismiss from your mind our brokenness.

Help us not to substitute you as God with ourselves and prevent us from desiring to dominate others with our own will and desires.

For your way to live is supreme and the source of life everlasting, the fullness of life.
