CONTEMPLATIONS: A SELFISH VERSION OF "THE LORD'S PRAYER")

A SELFISH VERSION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER

While some lips utter the Lord’s Prayer, their hearts often say another.

It goes something like this:

My servant, Who art in heaven,

Hollow is Thy name.

My own kingdom come; my own will be done,

On earth, and later in heaven.

Give me this day--gimme, gimme, gimme.

And forgive me my trespasses,

But don’t expect me to forgive others.

Bail me out when I give in to temptation,

And deliver me from the consequences of sin,

For in my kingdom I will wield power,

And expect glory forever. A man.

(Based on Matt. 6:9-13 KJV)
