The Lord's Prayer: A Paraphrase
Abba,
You know the end from the beginning.
You are perfect; complete goodness.
I will step aside for you,
relinquish my demand for control.
I will do what you say, here,
like creation does on earth
and the angels do in heaven.
Thank you for your promise
to provide what I need today.
Help me recognize it
and receive it gratefully.
I'm so grateful for your forgiveness.
I will pay it forward
to those who have hurt me.
We align with you,
submit to you,
honor you.
Always.
Amen.
