A spirtual thought

When we are in tune with God, we have all the connections we’ll ever need.
Keep conscious contact with God and pray to make that contact closer.
LORD’S PRAYER
The Lord’s Prayer is not a substitute for what concerns us. We can use it to organize our thoughts as we seek God’s help in our lives and the lives of others.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed by Your name. We need to remind ourselves that our Father is the supreme and Holy Lord of the universe.
Your kingdom come. We look to the establishment of God’s rule in our lives now, and eventually in all humanity.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The kingdom has come for those who have submitted their lives to God. We need God’s help to do His will on earth with the same enthusiasm and willing obedience as it is done in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread. Bread-—not cake! Pray for your needs, not your greed’s. And if God already has provided for your daily needs, remember others less fortunate. Pray for them, too. What can you do to help them? Ask God to present you with opportunities to help others.
Forgive us our debts. Is there something on your conscience? Tell God what you are sorry about. Ask for forgiveness.
As we also have forgiven our debtors. But if you expect forgiveness, have you forgiven others? Or are you harboring a grudge, anger, resentment? Is there someone out there whose feelings you have hurt? What are you going to do about it?
And lead us not into temptation. Of course God won’t lead you into sin. But you need to ask Him to lead you away from temptation. We are weak and do not always follow the prompting of the Holy Spirit working in us.
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. A reminder That God is in charge, and He will triumph over all opposition to His sovereign rule. The problems and trials of life are thus put in perspective.
