Unconditional Love
Ever hear of it? It’s elusive at best. You’re supposed to give it to Family, Friends, Lover’s and all humanity; in equal doses. The only thing about that is: If you’re not giving it to yourself, you can’t give it out to anyone else. Surely there must be some sort or guide or example of what we could follow in our quest to ‘clean up our act’?
The Model Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer, as found in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 6, verses 9-13 has often been called the, “Model Prayer.” We know that a model is a template. It can be utilized as a basic format, an outline for unique content that follows along the same lines. As we enter into the yearly equinox with its changing season; let us consider this model:
Our Father, who is right here within each of us: Holy, is Your name and not a prefix or suffix to our ranting’s.
Your unquestionably right way of perceiving things; the Kingdom; is coming.
Your will, will be done: Cutting through all of the ugly stuff flying around on earth as it is (first)… flying around inside of our heads.
Give us this day our daily ability to do it better.
Forgive/Release us from our injustices, as we forgive/release those who are unjust to us.
Lead us… Not into being tempted {by the crazy junk we see all around us}, but deliver us from the {crazy junk we Do get involved with} evil.
For Your way of doing things is the Kingdom;
Your merciful, miraculous interventions into our madness is the Power;
and Your loving providence of Grace, even when we don’t deserve it, is the Glory,
forever (we can always count on You) …and ever. Amen
