What God's Word Says
Matthew 6:9-13
The Lord's Prayer 
KJV  

 

What We Can Say
Speaking in our own
words
,  like this : 

 

Our Father, which art in heaven —

"Dear God, 
Jesus said that You are His Father and our Father too. You watch over us from your throne in heaven and You hear our prayers.

 

Hallowed be Thy name.
"Your name is special and Holy. The Bible says that You gave Your son Jesus the name that is above all names.

 

Thy kingdom come.
"You are my King and I pray that Your kingdom will come to us here on earth.

 

Thy will be done —
"I will do your will — everything You want me to do.

 

On Earth as it is in Heaven.
"I pray that everything 
I do will be done just as it is in heaven.

 

Give us this day our daily bread —
"Every day You give us everything we need; our food, our clothing, our shelter, our money — everything!

 

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
"You forgive the things I do wrong, just like I forgive other people who owe me.

 

And lead us not into temptation —
"Show me the right way to go so I can stay out of trouble.

 

But deliver us from evil:
"Thank You for protecting me from the devil and keeping me away from danger.

 

For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory,
"You are the most high God, Almighty and Powerful. I honor You. 
I bless You. 
I glorify You.

 

Forever,  Amen
"I  will love You forever 
and ever my Lord, Amen."
