I CANNOT PRAY THE "OUR FATHER"



I cannot say Our if my religion has no room for others and their needs.

I cannot say 
Father if I do not demonstrate this relationship in my daily life.

I cannot say 
who art in Heaven if all my interests and pursuits are in earthly things.

I cannot say 
hallowed be thy name if I, who am called by his name am not holy.

I cannot say 
thy Kingdom come if I am unwilling to give up my own sovereignty and accept the righteous reign of God.

I cannot say 
thy will be done if I am unwilling or resentful of having it in my life.

I cannot say on 
Earth as it is in Heaven unless I am truly ready to give myself to his service here and now.

I cannot say 
give us this day our daily bread without expending honest effort for it or by ignoring the genuine needs of my fellow men.

I cannot say 
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us if I continue to harbor a grudge against anyone.

I cannot say 
lead us not into temptation if I deliberately choose to remain in a situation where I am likely to be tempted.

I cannot say 
deliver us from evil if I am not prepared to fight in the spiritual realm with the weapon of prayer.

I cannot say 
Thine is the kingdom if I do not give the King the disciplined obedience of a loyal subject.

I cannot say 
Thine is the power if I fear what my neighbors do or say to me.

I cannot say 
Thine is the glory if I am seeking my own glory first.

I cannot say 
forever if I am anxious about each day's events.

I cannot say 
amen unless I honestly say "Cost what it may, this is my prayer."


This Prayer is taught by Jesus Himself. It's very powerful words.  If only I could able to say this prayer truly and meaningfully, I will see miracle everyday.
