I
CANNOT SAY
OUR; if my religion has no room for others and their needs.
#I
CANNOT SAY
FATHER; if I do not demonstrate this relationship in my daily life.
#I
CANNOT SAY
WHO ART IN HEAVEN; if all my interests and pursuits are in earthly things.
#I
CANNOT SAY
HALLOWED BE THY NAME; if I, who am called by his name am not holy.
#I
CANNOT SAY
THY KINGDOM COME; if I am unwilling to give up my own sovereignty and accept
the righteous reign of God.
#I
CANNOT SAY
THY WILL BE DONE; if I am unwilling or resentful of having it in my life.
#I
CANNOT SAY
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN; if I am not truly ready to give myself to his
service here and now.
#I
CANNOT SAY
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD; if I am not expending an honest effort for it
or by ignoring the genuine needs of my fellow man.
#I
CANNOT SAY
FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US ; if I
continue to harbor a grudge against anyone.
#I
CANNOT SAY
LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION; if I deliberately choose to remain in a situation
where I am likely to be tempted.
#I US FROM EVIL; if I am not prepared to fight in the spiritual realm with the weapon
CANNOT SAY
DELIVER
of prayer.
#I
CANNOT SAY
THINE IS THE KINGDOM; if I do not give the King the disciplined obedience of a
loyal subject.
#I
CANNOT SAY
THINE IS THE POWER; if I fear what my neighbors do or say to me.
#I
CANNOT SAY
THINE IS THE GLORY; if I am seeking my own glory first.
#I
CANNOT SAY
FOREVER; if I am anxious about each day’s events.
#I
CANNOT SAY
AMEN; if i don’t honestly say "cost what it may, this is my prayer.".
