OUR FATHER WHO
ART IN HEAVEN -
Glory
to You in the highest,
and peace to Your people on earth.
Lord
God, heavenly King,
almighty God and Father,
we worship You, we give You thanks,
we praise You for Your glory.
Lord
Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
You take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;
You are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.
For
you alone are the Holy One,
You alone are the Lord,
You alone are the Most High,
Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
HALLOWED
BE THY NAME -
THY
KINGDOM COME -
You are God: we praise
You;
You are the Lord: we acclaim You;
You are the eternal Father:
All creation worships You.
To You all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of Your glory.
Splendor and honor and kingly power
are Yours by right, O Lord our God,
For You created everything that is,
and by Your will they were created and have their being.
And Yours by right, O Lamb that was slain,
for with Your blood You have redeemed for God,
From every family, language, people, and nation,
a kingdom of priests to serve our God.
You, Christ, are the king of glory,
the eternal Son of the Father.
When You became man to set us free
You did not shun the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glory.
And so, to Him who sits upon the throne,
and to Christ the Lamb,
Be worship and praise, dominion and splendor,
for ever and for evermore.
THY
WILL BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN -
Our Father,
grant that we may be filled with the deep and clear knowledge of Your will
with comprehensive insight into Your ways and purposes and in
understanding and discernment of spiritual things.
Grant that we may
live and conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of Your Name, fully pleasing
You in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing
and increasing in and by the knowledge of You.
Grant that we may be
invigorated and strengthened with all power, according to the might of
Your glory, to exercise every kind of endurance and patience with joy,
giving You thanks for qualifying us and making us fit to share the portion
which is the inheritance of the saints in the Light.
GIVE
US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD -
Almighty God, to whom our needs are known before
we ask: Help us to ask only what accords with Your will; and those good
things which we dare not, or in our blindness cannot ask, grant us for the
sake of Your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and
have our
being: We humbly pray You so to guide and govern us by Your Holy Spirit,
that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget You,
but may remember that we are ever walking in Your sight; through Jesus
Christ our Lord.
Our Father, may
our love abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in
knowledge and keen insight, so that we may surely learn to sense what is
vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value, that we
may approach the day of Christ not stumbling or causing others to
stumble.
May we abound in and be filled with the fruits of
righteousness which come through Jesus Christ, the Anointed One, that Your
glory may be both manifested and recognized.

AND
FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS-
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against You
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved You with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent.
For the sake of Your Son
Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in Your will,
and walk in Your ways,
to the glory of Your Name.
(You
may want to confess specific sins at this time)
We humbly beseech You, O
Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities; and, for the glory of
Your Name, turn from us all those evils that we most justly have deserved; and
grant that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence
in Your mercy, and evermore serve You in holiness and pureness of living,
to Your honor and glory; through our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus
Christ our Lord.
AS
WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS -
Our Father,
grant us out of the rich treasury of Your glory to be strengthened and
reinforced with mighty power in our inner self by the Holy Spirit
indwelling our innermost being and personality.
May Christ
through faith actually abide and make His permanent home in our hearts.
May we be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that we may
have the power to grasp with all Christians the experience of that love,
what is the breadth and length and height and depth of it.
May we
really come to know through experience for ourselves the love of Christ,
which far surpasses mere knowledge without experience, that we may be
filled through all our being with Your fullness; that we may have the
richest measure of your divine Presence, and that You will completely fill
us with Yourself.
(You may want
to pray for specific difficult people at this time)
LEAD
US NOT INTO TEMPTATION, BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL -
O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the
day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive
far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep Your law, and
guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done Your will with
cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give You
thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord,
to know You is eternal life and to serve You is perfect freedom: Defend
us, Your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely
trusting in Your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries;
through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Our Father,
Grant us the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the deep and intimate
knowledge of You. Grant that the eyes of our heart may be flooded
with light, so that we may know and understand the hope to which You have
called us and how rich is Your glorious inheritance in the saints, so that
we can understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing
greatness of Your power toward us who believe, which is the same power
that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand.
FOR
THINE IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOR EVER AND EVER.
Almighty
God, Father of all mercies,
we your unworthy servants give You humble thanks
for all Your goodness and loving-kindness
to us and to all whom You have made.
We bless You for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life;
but above all for Your immeasurable love
in the redemption of the church by our Lord Jesus Christ;
for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.
And, we pray, give us such an awareness of Your mercies,
that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth Your praise, not only
with our lips, but in our lives,
by giving up our selves to Your service,
and by walking before You
in holiness and righteousness all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with You and the Holy Spirit,
be honor and glory throughout all ages.
(You
may want to give thanks for specific blessings at this time)
Almighty God, Who
has promised to hear the petitions of those who ask in Your Son's Name: We
beseech You mercifully to incline Your ear to us who have now made our
prayers and supplications unto You; and grant that those things which we
have asked faithfully according to Your will, may be obtained effectually,
to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth of Your glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
AMEN
!
