The Lord’s Prayer Paraphrased by Sarah Dylan Breuer, adapted by Mary Jacobs
Emmanuel, we honor your presence among us. Renew the whole world in the image of your love. Give us what we need for today, and a hunger to see the whole world fed.
Strengthen us for what lies ahead; heal us from the hurts of the past; give us courage to follow your call in this moment. For your love is the only power, the only home, the only honor we need, in this world and in the world to come. Amen.
