The Book of Luke

expiated said:
What's been titled "The Lord's Prayer" in the eleventh chapter of Luke (and the sixth chapter of Matthew) is actually, from what I understand, a model prayer. I tried to use it as such in the past, but failed to repeat my own version enough to commit it to memory, which is why I'm making a second attempt now. I have no idea where I put the text I wrote back then, so hopefully what I write today will still be here for me to return to if I need to do so, provided I don't forget having done this here.

"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."

I know what kind of love You have given me, that I should be called a child of God, so I pray to You as my heavenly Father in Whom I trust, the one true God, from whom are all things and for whom I exist, knowing that whoever would draw near to You must believe that You are, and that You are a "rewarder" of those who diligently seek You.

I acknowledge You, Father, as my source, my Provider and my strength—as Almighty God, in whom I trust, Creator of heaven and earth and all there is; a holy God, worthy of praise, honor and glory; to be magnified and glorified; who from before the foundation of the world ordained a plan by which You would reconcile a people to Yourself.

And so I pray, Father, that as your child I would be faithful in doing my part in bringing your plan of salvation to completion—that Your will would be done on Earth as it is in heaven.

I pray also that You would meet my needs for this day, according to Your riches in glory by Yeshua the Messiah, and as You provided those in the wilderness with just enough manna to last them for one day, that I would be content to trust You with the future.

I thank You that You are faithful and just to forgive me my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness, and I ask you to do so, and to give me the strength, by you holy Spirit, to forgive those who sin against me.

And finally Father, I know that you are guiding my life, and in my own power I am incapable of resisting temptation. So I pray that you would not lead me into temptation, but that I would stay on the righteous path You would have me choose, so as not to make it necessary four You to use circumstances as a means of revealing to me my true character or the state of my spiritual development—that I would trust You and Your grace for the strength I need to resist temptation before it becomes sin.

For You have first place in all things Father and everything belongs to You. It is You who is in charge and in whose presence I live my life. The kingdom, the power and the glory are all yours, forever and ever.

So be it!

As I memorize this prayer in English I'm going to memorize it in Spanish as well. Even if the Google translator doesn't get the grammar just right, it should still help me to at least develop more of a feel for, or familiarity with, the language. I'm hoping this will help me to become fluent that much faster as I also listen to native speakers use it correctly, or at least use it in the manner that is common among them.

Sé qué clase de amor me has dado, para que me llamen hijo de Dios, así que te ruego como mi Padre celestial en quien confío, el único Dios verdadero, de quien son todas las cosas y para quien existo, sabiendo que quien se acerque a Ti debe creer que lo eres, y que eres un "recompensador" de aquellos que te buscan diligentemente.

Te reconozco, Padre, como mi fuente, mi Proveedor y mi fuerza, como Dios Todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y la tierra y todo lo que hay; un Dios santo, digno de honor y alabanza; ser magnificado y glorificado; quien desde antes de la fundación del mundo ordenó un plan por el cual reconciliarías a un pueblo contigo mismo.
