THE
LORD'S PRAYER
(One
Possible New Translation from the Aramaic Language
- translation by
Neil
Douglas-Klotz from his book "Prayers of the Cosmos") |
|
Oh Creator, Father/Mother of the Cosmos and all that is,
Focus your light within us, make it useful;
Create your reign of unity now
Your desire becomes our desire,
For as you are in all light, so you are in all forms.
Grant what we need each day in bread, and insight, and understanding.
Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the
strands we hold of other people's guilt.
Don't
let surface things delude us, but free us from that which
holds us back.
From you is born all ruling will, and the power and the life
to do, and the song that beautifies all.
From age to age, you renew all things.
Truly power to these statements
may they be the ground from which all my actions flow.
Amen.

THE
LORD'S PRAYER
(Interpretation
by Emma Curtis Hopkins) |
| (as read at the August
12, 2001 Sunday service)
The Kingdom is come.
Your will is done within me now.
Give me this day everything I need.
Forgive my lack of confidence to command.
Give for my emptiness thy substance.
Don’t let me be tempted.
Keep me from all wrong thinking.

THE
LORD'S PRAYER
(Interpretation
of Emma Curtis Hopkins by Rev. Dr. Kathianne Lewis)
Father, Mother God
within and without, with and through and as all things
Your
Kingdom ~ it is come.
And your will is done in me now.
Your will is my will and my will is your will.
For I know that the divine will is always for Good and
a greater good than I can
conceive of.
Your Good is not only good for me it is good for all
people.
I will to will God’s will.
And give me this day everything I need.
Give me the Wisdom, the support, the intelligence, the
supply, the friendship, the encouragement, the
Love, the embrace, the memory, the Creativity.
Let me go through the day filled and overflowing, and
so secure in who and what I am because of you, oh Father,
Mother, God.
Give for my emptiness and my receptivity thy fullness.
May I be filled with your glory always.
And may I know it and may others know it that they may
remember their connection with you.
Forgive my lack of confidence to command the law.
Remind me that I am the Spirit and the law responds to
that which is spiritual within me.
Let me be an heir to the kingdom right now, speaking my
word and having my word made flesh and manifest and may it be
for good for I am filled with good because my will is your
will and I trust myself.
I trust my prayers.
And don’t let me enter temptation (to believe the
worst, to forget who I am, to be lazy.)
Don’t let me turn to that which is easy and material
and familiar.
Let me lean into the mystery.
Let me lean into the invisible.
Let me be lifted on wings of angels and high thoughts.
And keep me, keep me from all wrong thinking.
May I think on things that are loving and inclusive all
the time.
May I be a place where God’s presence, Peace and Joy
shows up.
And to God, and to God be the Glory.
And may the blessings be without end to myself, to
everyone around me and to my planet.
May I
be of benefit to everyone.
And
So It Is.
