Simply...

 

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

 

Certainly, N0T 'thEe only way', jUst my way...

No, Bobbie, I don't pray like that. That is called Pantheism. I am a Christian. I pray to God, the creator of the fields and streams. Only He can answer my prayers. How does everyone else pray?

Here is a Prayer I say when someone asks me to "Pray for me, her, him"

Praying is believing in something bigger than yourself, or anything you've ever touched or known.  It's telling a river or an open field that you need a little help right now.  Because somebody hurts.  Because someone somewhere has been crying.  Last night I thought about you and I concentrated as hard as I could on making you better.  I went outside and sat on top of a hill and told the night sky that you were sad, and that all I really wanted was for you to be okay.  I gave a tree a hug and a message.  I wished on a star and all its friends to make you smile.  This is my prayer to you.  Because I want you to love the world again.  And, because I knew I couldn't do it by myself.  I carry this in my purse whenever I'm down I'll read it and feel better.  Dose anybody else pray like this?
