As we start out our series on the Lord’s Prayer, we were all challenged to write our own prayer using the Lord’s Prayer as a template. Here’s Pastor Roscoe’s:
Father of my family and those I love, Your name is magnificent and different from anything else I’ve known here on earth. Father, make things on earth as they are in heaven, and use me to do it and show me how to do it. Father, today I yield myself, my attitudes, and my will to Your will and plan. Provide my family with the necessities of life so that I will daily depend upon You and the extras we will share with others. Help me to remember that I can never forgive someone as much as You have forgiven me. Help me not to ruin Your name because of selfishness, pride, greed or lust. Keep the forces of evil at bay so we can make You famous in New York. You are ruler of the universe, the King of Heaven and Earth, and are worthy of a life of praise now and forever. Amen.
We’d love to post yours too! Give it a try and send it to kristen@northstarchurch.com!
