Challenging The Lord's Prayer

Challenging The Lord's Prayer

 

I cannot say OUR if I live only for myself.

 

I cannot say FATHER if I do not endeavor each day to act like His child.

 

I cannot say WHO ART IN HEAVEN if I am laying up no treasiire there.

 

I cannot say HALLOWED BE THY NAME if I am not striving for holiness.

 

I cannot say THY KINGDOM COME if I am not doing an in my power to hastenthat wonderful event.

 

I cannot say THY WILL BE DONE if I am disobedient to His word.

 

I cannot say ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN if I will not serve Him here and now.

 

I cannot say GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD if I am dishonest or seeking things by subterfiige.

 

I cannot say FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES if I harbor a grudge against anyone.

 

I cannot say LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION if I deliberately place myself in its path.

 

I cannot say DELIVER US FROM EVIL if I do not put on the whole armor of God.
