Praying With Jesus (Matthew 6:9-13)
God of heaven and earth and all that is,
I honor you and commit myself to you.
I will follow your Way in all times and places,
and I am content with what you bring me today.
I am only human and I need your help with it, but
I would offer others the grace which I need from you.
Thank you for being my strength when I am weak,
and my wisdom when I speak.
Thank you for the peace to move forward,
for being my God and providing all that I need.
Amen.
