The Lord's Prayer

Leader: When we feel that we are not succeeding and begin to doubt our sense of worth, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Our Father, who art in Heaven

Leader: When we become too closely involved in our own affairs, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Hallowed be thy name

Leader: When we think of the future as fixed and impossible to change, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Thy Kingdom come

Leader: When we begin to dodge our commitments and evade our obligations, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven

Leader: When we are smug, comfortable and satisfied and forget the needs of others, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Give us this day our daily bread

Leader: When we hold grudges and allow bitterness and resentment into our hearts, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

Leader: When we find it hard to say 'No' and the pressure to give in mounts, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil

Leader: When we become self-centred and seek only our own gratification, Lord, teach us to pray:
All: The Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, for ever and ever.
Amen.

(The Lord's Prayer can be found in the bible in Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4.)
