Dearest Papa, You who are also King of all,

(how can You be both?)

Please let Your name be honored in my heart.

I stand on tiptoes waiting and watching

for your Kingdom to come in all your fullness.

I long for your will to be done everywhere.

Today, let me find all I need in You

so I can let go all my resentment

at the sin against me.

You have forgiven me so much.

I cannot survive without your forgiveness.

Lead me on, dear One, into your heart,

away from every evil.

Your power and Your love will endure together forever.

Glory. Hallelujah. So be it.
