The Lords Prayer

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,
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil,
For thine is the kingdom,
The Power and the Glory,
For ever and ever,
Amen.

Have you ever repeated The Lords Prayer without considering all aspects of it and how the belief in what you are saying can really change your life ?

There are 6 teachings in this prayer and when said with your full conviction, the 7th aspect of love with be there, surrounding you and fulfilling all of your desires. You must understand all teachings in order to truly unlock the potential.

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.

Faith.

This is where you declare your faith. I believe that the divine is a Father/Mother energy giving balance of love, nurturing, guidance and protection. We are the child learning how to travel on a journey. Invoking his hallowed name is creating a sacred space to live your daily life.

Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,

Surrender.

This is your promise to make the world a better place. The "will" is his will, not yours. Forgo your ego, follow your destiny. Remember this if something is not going your way. Understand that sometimes, things just aren't meant to be.

On Earth as it is in Heaven,

Service.

Create Heaven on Earth by charitable actions. Don't be discouraged by the size of the problems on Earth, taking small steps is enough to get the ball rolling.
Prayer can be an act of service,
Think of as many people as you like who you can pray for. Think of a local or world crisis that you are moved by. Then make often and regular prayers for those causes sending positive and healing energy to them.

Volunteer work for a charity can also give you a great sense of purpose. Even when you are in need of charity yourself.

Give us today our daily bread,

Abundance.

This is to manifest your desires now that you are in alignment with your higher mission. The most important aspect of this is to show gratitude for everything you are given. Say Thank You for everything, Say it often and Mean It !!!!

Forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.

Forgiveness.

This can be difficult when you are out of practise. It's not something that we are taught to do properly. Do it with integrity and open your heart to the fact that we are all learning. We are asking to be forgiven by all those people that we have affected. Learn from your past behaviour. Forgive yourself.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Overcoming.

You know the 7 deadly sins ? Ego, Envy, Anger (Wrath), Sloth, Greed, Indulgence (Glutton) and Lust. These emotions stop us from achieving our higher purpose which is Love.
Temptation to sin stops us from keeping our sacred promise to God. That promise is to Love.

See, Love wraps it all up. Its the beginning , end, and everything in between.

I hope that next time you pray, you feel the power of the words and the universal love from God.

Love and Gratitude,
