“OUR” DEAR “FATHER” “IN HEAVEN,”
YOUR “GLORIOUS NAME” “WE” “PRAISE”; (1 Chr. 29:13; Ps. 115:1; Matt. 6:9,10)
MAY YOUR “WILL BE DONE,” “AS” THERE,
AND YOUR “KINGDOM COME,” ALL WAYS. (Matt. 6:9,10)
PLEASE PROVIDE OUR “DAILY” NEEDS,
WITH THE FOOD WE NEED TO LIVE;
“FORGIVE US” ALL OF “OUR DEBTS,”
LIKE THE FORGIVENESS “WE” GIVE. (Matt. 6:11,12)
“LEAD US NOT” TO “TEMPTATION,”
AND SAVE “US FROM” ALL “EVIL”; (Matt. 6:13)
(THOUGH YOU NEVER DO TEMPT US, (James 1:12-14; 1 Cor. 10:13)
LIKE SATAN DOES, THE DEVIL.) (Mark 1:13; Rev. 12:9; 20:2)
PLEASE FILL US WITH YOUR SPIRIT, (John 14:17; Rom. 8:9-11; 1 Cor. 3:16; 2 Tim. 1:14; 1 John 4:13)
“TEACH” US TO “WALK IN” YOUR WAY; (Ps. 86:11; 1 Kin. 2:3,4; 3 John 1:4)
IMPART YOUR “WISDOM” TO US, (1 Chr. 22:12; Eccl. 2:26; Eph. 1:15-17)
GUIDE US IN WHAT WE SHOULD “SAY.” (Ex. 4:12,15)
HELP US TO “BE A BLESSING,” (Gen. 12:2; Ps. 2:12; 119:1,2; Prov. 8:32; Luke 11:28)
TO THE OTHERS AROUND US; (Gen. 18:18; 26:1-5; Acts 3:25; Gal. 3:6-14)
MAKE US HONEST AND LOVING, (Lev. 19:33-36; 1 John 3:16-19; 1 John 4:7-11)
ALWAYS KIND AND COURTEOUS.
KEEP US “HUMBLE” IN OUR HEARTS, (1 Pet. 5:5,6; Isa. 57:15; Jam. 4:10)
THAT WE ESTEEM OTHERS MORE; (Phil. 2:3)
WE WANT TO ALWAYS “LOVE” YOU, (Deut. 11:1; Josh. 22:5; Matt. 22:37; Mark 12:30)
AND, “AS” OURSELVES, EACH “NEIGHBOUR.” (Matt. 22:39; Mark 12:31; 1 John 3:23; 4:7-11)
THANK YOU FOR YOUR “WORD” GIVEN, (Ps. 119:9-17,81,89,105,114,140,160-162)
IT IS “LIGHT” TO GUIDE OUR “PATH”; (Ps. 119:105; 2 Pet. 1:19-21; See “word” and “light” in John 1:1-14)
HELP US UNDERSTAND YOUR “TRUTH,” (Ps. 51:6; John 8:31,32; 16:13; 1 John 4:6; 3 John 1:4)
AND “KEEP” YOUR “HOLY” “SABBATH.” (Ex. 20:8-11; 31:13,14)
PLEASE BRING YOUR WORDS TO OUR MINDS,
EV’RY DAY AS WE NEED THEM; (John 14:26)
STRENGTHEN US TO SHARE YOUR TRUTHS, (1 Chr. 29:11,12; Ps. 29:11; 68:35)
AND HELP US WITH EACH PROBLEM. (Hebrews 4:16)
WE PRAY THESE THINGS IN YOUR “NAME,” (Matt. 6:9; Luke 11:2; John 16:26; Jam. 5:14)
“SEAL” EACH OF US WITH YOUR “SIGN”; (Rev. 7:2,3; 9:4; Isa. 8:16; Ex. 13:6-9; Ezek. 9:4-6; Especially see Ex. 31:12,13 and Ezek. 20:11,12,19,20)
“WRITE” YOUR “LAW” UPON EACH “HEART,” (Jer. 31:33; Heb. 8:10; Ps. 37:31; 40:8; Isa. 8:16; Ezek. 11:19,20)
AND YOUR “NAME” ON EV’RY MIND. (Mal. 3:16,17; Ps. 20:7; 44:20,21; 5:11; 69:36; 91:14; 119:132; Isa. 56:6; Jer. 23:26,27; Rev. 7:2,3; 9:4; Especially contrast “name” in Rev. 14:1; 15:4; and 22:3,4, with “the mark of his name” in Rev. 14:11 and 20:4)
TO YOU BE ALL “THE GLORY,” (Matt. 6:13; Rom. 16:27; 1 Tim. 1:17; Jude 1:25)
FOR YOU, “YAH,” HAVE ALWAYS BEEN; (Compare “JAH” in Ps. 68:4,32-34 KJV, with “YAH” in the NKJV; Ps. 102:24-27; Isa. 9:6,7; Luke 1:31-33; Compare Who “sent his angel” in Rev. 22:6 and 22:16; Heb. 13:8; John 1:1,2)
YOUR “KINGDOM” AND YOUR “POWER,”
WILL BE “FOR EVER. AMEN.” (Matt. 6:13; 1 Chr. 29:11)
