Poetic Lord’s Prayer

/ danny777 / 2 Comments

Our Father in Heaven
Hallowed be Your Name
I sing aloud with my voice
I am declaring your fame

Your Kingdom Come
Your Will Be Done
I will follow your plan
And this race I will run

On earth as it is in Heaven
For You know what’s best
I will live your way
And then your blessings manifest

Give us this day
Our daily bread
Food on our table
A roof over our head

Forgive us our sins
For they are not a few
You gave your life
That I might be made new

Forgive others
Who have caused us pain
Hold it not against them
Lord help them to change

Lead us not into temptation
For there are many all around
Deliver me from evil
In holiness let me abound

For yours is the Kingdom
For everything is yours
All the glory, and the power
You, my God, are forevermore

-Danny Cheney-

Christmas Blessing

In my prayer time this morning I read these words from Pete Greig of 24-7 prayer. Their prayer app Lectio 365 has daily prayers and I loved this blessing from today’s Christmas reading.

You can use this as a prayer over yourself and family this Christmas evening.

Pete Greig writes first about God’s perspective of us, then there is a blessing to pray:

‘I love you. I have no regrets. I gave up everything for you and I’m glad I did! They laid me in that cold, dark, dirty manger, so give me your cold, dark, dirty heart. I am in you, I am with you, I am for you. Be born again today.’

Christmas Blessing

And so, may the love by which the Father sent His son at Christmas, 
    embrace my family and friends, my heart and my home, this day.
And may the sacrifice, by which Jesus was born in Bethlehem, 
    mark all my attitudes, actions, and interactions this day.
And may the joy, by which the Spirit conceives and breathes new life,
    fill me with the holiness of heaven’s happiness now and forever more.**
Amen

I pray you have had a wonderful Christmas.
