The Lords Prayer

For some time I have felt  that the only real prayer we have is "Thy will be done". 

By saying "They Kingdom ome", I state my willingness to embark or continue in Christs body.

Now I come to "Give us this day our daily bread." By this I mean to say that I will accept sustenance from no other source.  And by saying this, I make this a commitment.

Asking God forgiveness for my trespass at one time implies that I will forgive others theirs against me but also it gives me the freedom to forgive others. 

Only in this commitment, can I find relief  from evil  and temptation.

All of this happens in communion with other people.  These people take me and others into their midst.  In this group of people,  I change and grow.
