Lord's Prayer interpretation
Our Guardian, who surrounds us, how great and powerful is your name, let all the people know you are among us, let us follow your path of faith, everyday and everywhere. Fill us this day with your wonderful gifts; let us learn from our wrong doings, and help us to accept injustice done to us; help us to resist sin and drifting from your path, let us remember your way and not take revenge on others. Your home is everywhere, and your strength, and adoring praise is forever. So be it! |
