The Lord's Prayer

As found in Matthew 6:9-13



Our Father

You, Lord, are a personal God to each and every one of Your children, including me.

Which art in heaven,

You are High and Lifted up; You are far above mortal man.

Hallowed be Thy name.

Your name is holy, and not to be taken lightly.

Thy kingdom come;

Lord, please hasten Your coming; but until then, reign in my heart as King and Lord.

Thy will be done, in as earth as it is in heaven.

Please help me to follow in Your will and let my life exemplify Christ.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Provide me with both physical and spiritual needs.

And forgive us our debts,

Lord, forgive me and cover me with Your mercy and grace.
(Note: It is important to specify your sins as you seek forgiveness. You can always ask God to bring to your remembrance unconfessed sins.)

As we forgive our debtors.

As You forgive me, help me to have the same mind as You and forgive others also.

And lead us not into temptation,

Please help me further to follow after Your will so that I may avoid temptation.

But deliver us from evil:

Provide me with a way of escape from the temptation which I encounter.

For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever.

You are able to keep me from falling, for all power is Yours both in heaven and in earth.

Amen.

I sincerely mean every word that I have said: so be it.

Looking for Me

In family worship, we have reading from the book of Ezekiel. There are a lot of deep and awesome truths found in that book, some of which unlock other controversies that we have yet to understand. Throughout the coming weeks, I will write about the book of Ezekiel based on various points my family members bring out each night. I pray that you will blessed.   I was lost, but now am found. But who found me? Who was looking for me? "For thus saith the Lord God; 'Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.' " (Ezekiel 34:11) And why does He want to find me ? "As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out My sheep , and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day." (Ezekiel 34:12) And as my favorite Scripture says, "I have called you by your name; you are Mine " (Isaiah 43:1). The Cloudy and Dark Day It i

Remember the Titans: Remember the Leaders

     In life, there is a need for leaders—persons who will take up responsibility and be the trendsetters that others can follow. As Reed Markham, PhD, stated, “ Successful leaders see the opportunity in every difficulty rather than the difficulty in every opportunity”. “Remember the Titans” is an inspiring movie that teaches the truth about leadership and positive influence.      Among the many examples of leadership portrayed in this movie is Gerry Bertier, captain of the TC Williams football team. Gerry showed qualities of leadership by taking charge and following through with his responsibility. One of the ways he did this was by dropping Ray, his best friend, from the team due to the fact that Ray was not playing defensively on behalf of his Negro teammates, which resulted in the injury of one of them. Even though this decision threatened his friendship with Ray, Gerry still fulfilled his responsibility. Another quality of leadership Gerry shows is open-mindedness; he connected to
