OUR PRAYER

Each one of us is an outlet to God and an inlet to God.

Dear Friends,

As part of my morning meditation and contemplation, I love reading this prayer.  It is the Aramaic version of “The Lord’s Prayer.” After I read it, I ask Spirit, what words or phrases shall guide my life today.  As you read this beautiful version, ask yourself the same question.  You may be surprised what pops out for you, and then what manifests during the day.

The Lord’s Prayer

(Directly translated from Aramaic into English,
rather than from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English)

O cosmic Birther of all radiance & vibration!

Soften the ground of your being & carve out a space
within me where your Presence can abide.

Fill me with your creativity so that I may be empowered
to bear the fruit of your mission.

Let each of my actions bear fruit
in accordance with your desire.

Endow me with the wisdom to produce & share
what each being needs to grow & flourish.

Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind me,
as I release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.

Do not let me be seduced by that which would
divert me from my true purpose,
but illuminate the opportunities of the present moment.

For you are the ground & the fruitful vision,
The birth, power, & fulfillment,
As all is gathered & made whole once again.

What guidance did you receive?
Is your heart and mind open to hear and feel the presence of Spirit within?
Is today the day you will be more creative in your life and service?
Are your actions in alignment with your God consciousness?
Will you be ready to share words of wisdom to those who call you for help?
Will you forgive and release others from past hurts and mistakes?
Will you stay true to yourself and to the path Spirit is guiding you on, rather than be pulled into the melodrama of the world?
Regardless of appearances, can you see the wholeness and goodness of all?

As we listen to the message of the Lord’s Prayer, it truly becomes Our Prayer.
