Our Father which art in heaven

Hallowed be Thy name
Recognizing the holiness and sanctity of God's name.

As it is in heaven
Reinforcing the alignment of earthly actions with heavenly standards.
Give us this day our daily bread
Seeking God's provision for daily sustenance.
And forgive our debts
Asking for forgiveness for personal wrongs or sins.
As we forgive our debtors
Committing to forgive others as a condition for receiving forgiveness.
And lead us not into temptation
Petitioning God to guide away from temptation and moral pitfalls.
But deliver us from evil
Seeking divine protection from evil and harm.
For Thine is the kingdom
Acknowledging God's ownership and sovereignty over the kingdom.
And the power
Acknowledging God's possession of power and glory.
And the glory forever
Reaffirming the eternal nature of God's kingdom, power, and glory.
For Thine is the kingdom
