I enjoy breathing every morning, coming into to the light and Presence of God and myself.
I repeat the Lord's Prayer every morning listening to each word to see which seems more relevant to me for the day. In this way, I also play with the prayer working to bridge its epic wisdom with words of today.
Below I leave different examples of inspiration and connection with the Prayer and of course God.
Here is the original and timeless one for reference if you do not know it.
This was from my memory and I grew up in a Catholic tradition in a small rural town of 100 Mile House.
The version as cited by Chat GPT matches exactly to
Book of Common Prayer (1662) - Anglican Tradition
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Your 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 have trespassed against us.
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever
Amen

Our Father and Mother who are Presence
Hallowed is your Being
When thy Presence come, thy Will which is also mine be Done
On Earth, as is Heaven around us.
Gratitude for this day, my daily Gift
Accepting who I am as I accept Others who are different than I
And keep my mind in Presence
For Presence is Life, is Movement, and above all Wonder
Amen

Our Father and Mother who are the Presence of before the Universe and beyond from time immemorial
May we hear your Silence and know You are always Here
When your Presence comes, time is undone and Life is embodied
Give us the courage to see beyond our current moment and hear you
And allow us to deeply feel ourselves and accept what it is we are today
As we can also accept others for who they are as well
And bring warning and clarity when our senses pull us away from Your Intention
Reaffirming our Path in your Presence as the only One
For Living in Your Presence , we feel empowered and recognize the unspeakable joy to have
You act with us, through us and as us
Amen

Our Father and Mother, blessed is the universe in creation - before and after time
Give thanks to the sound that radiates and touches our hearts, fulfills our souls and allows us to shine the light of God
When awareness and presence is come, all that is divine will be done
Embodied on earth, as Divinely sent from heaven
Give thanks for this day, for this hour, for this minute, for this moment and accept reality as it is right now without past or future
Accept other people's realities in this moment without past, and without future
Smile
Allows us to maintain our connection and not be pulled into our senses and deliver us back into pure Presence and Spirit
For within us, all things can manifest - all power and all softness IS within us, and all beauty is forever in our gratitude
Amen
