The Lord’s Prayer

DAILY READING

Matthew 6:7-15

FIELD NOTES

Again, from The Voice translation:

9 Your prayers, rather, should be simple, like this:

    Our Father in heaven,

        let Your name remain holy.

10 

    Bring about Your kingdom.

    Manifest Your will here on earth,

        as it is manifest in heaven.

11 

    Give us each day that day’s bread—no more, no less—

12 

    And forgive us our debts

        as we forgive those who owe us something.

13 

    Lead us not into temptation,

        but deliver us from evil.

    [But let Your kingdom be,

        and let it be powerful

        and glorious forever. Amen.]
