Lord’s Prayer: There and Here

Let’s try the contrasting thoughts of There and Here for today’s look at the Lord’s Prayer:

You are THERE, Lord, in the heavens,

And THERE your name is separate and special unlike any other.

Let your rule come HERE, in this place.

Let your desires be carried out HERE, as they are THERE.

From your position and resources THERE, provide for us HERE with daily food,

And HERE let us freely experience forgiveness—both giving and receiving.

From the storehouse of power that you have THERE, please use it to keep us HERE from temptation to sin and wrong choices.

Thank you!
