Here’s a responsive prayer based on the Lord’s
Prayer (Matthew 6: 9-13, Luke 11: 2-4).

Responsive
Lord’s Prayer
(inspired by Matthew 6: 9-13, Luke 11: 2-4)
Your kingdom come
Our
Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed
be thy name.
Lead us to worship only you, Lord, and not money,
to put people before profit
and ‘being’ before having’.
Thy
kingdom come.
Thy
will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give
us this day our daily bread.
Inspire us to work together to change the world
so that everyone has enough
and all can live life to the full.
Forgive
us our trespasses,
as
we forgive those who trespass against us,
and
lead us not into temptation,
but
deliver us from evil.
Create in us the desire
to live in harmony with creation
so all people may flourish
and your kingdom come.
Amen.
