Our Heart In Heaven
Our Father who art in heaven, in our hopes, and in our hearts. Hallowed be thy name on the
lips of negotiators of peace. Thy kingdom come, to India and Pakistan, to Iran
and Iraq, and across the face of our troubled earth. Thy will be done, in the hearts of
children, in the conscience of men
in-powered by others trust, and in our daily society as it is in heaven. Give us today our
daily bread to feed our children with the nourishment of your knowledge. Forgive us our
trespasses, for we have justified our trespasses in your name for our own selfish goals.
Grant us the strength to forgive those who trespass against us. Let us reveal a reflection
of our ignorance as compassion for mankind. Fill our souls with the understanding that
leads us not into temptation or earthly destruction. Deliver us from the oppression of
evil, from the lack of peace that fills our daily lives, and from ourselves. For thine is
the kingdom, where we are safe from ourselves, where our wisdom is revealed as not. You have
the power, as only your wisdom grants and the glory that warms our souls with your eminent
light. These truths you revealed in our hearts shall be our guiding light forever and ever
and always.
