The Lord\u2019s Prayer (a paraphrase)<\/h3>\n

based on Matthew 6:9-13<\/a>, Luke 11:2-4<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

O God, you love us like a good parent,
\n      and are present in every aspect of our existence.
\nMay your nature become known and respected by all.
\nMay your joy, peace, wholeness and justice
\n      be the reality for everyone
\n            as we live by the Jesus Way.
\nGive us all that we really need to live every day for you.
\nAnd forgive us our failures as we forgive others for their failures.
\nKeep us from doing those things which are not of you,
\n      and cause us always to be centred on your love.
\nFor you are the true reality in this our now,
\n      and in all our future.
\nIn the Jesus Way we pray.
