Here’s a re-working of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). It comes from Rex A.E. Hunt.
The Abba Prayer
(inspired by Matthew 6: 9-13)
God, lover of us all, most holy one.
Help us to respond to you.
To create what you want for us here on earth.
Help us to respond to you.
To create what you want for us here on earth.
Give us today enough for our needs.
Forgive our weak and deliberate offences,
just as we must forgive others when they hurt us.
Forgive our weak and deliberate offences,
just as we must forgive others when they hurt us.
Help us to resist evil and to do what is good.
For we are yours, endowed with your power
to make our world whole.
Amen.
For we are yours, endowed with your power
to make our world whole.
Amen.
