The Prayer

Our Father:
I acknowledge WHO You are in relation to me

Who art in heaven:
I acknowledge where You are 

Hallowed be Thy Name:
I acknowledge the unique sacredness of Your name

Thy kingdom come:
I acknowledge that you have a future plan

Thy will be done:
I acknowledge that YOUR will is of utmost importance and can be trusted

On earth:
I acknowledge that matters that concern your will have to do with our earth

As it is in heaven:
I acknowledge that your will is established in heaven already

Give us this day our daily bread:
I acknowledge that You are not only mindful of my daily needs, but will supply them as they arise

And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors:
I acknowledge that my actions and mercy towards others affect your actions and mercy towards me, and that I am shown your forgiveness to the same degree that I forgive others

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
I acknowledge that your purpose is to lead me on paths of righteousness that will guarantee the security of my spiritual future

For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever:
I acknowledge that all kingdoms in heaven and earth are exclusively Yours, and the gifts we receive are not by entitlement, but by Your grace and goodness.

Amen: And so it is.
