Our Father In Heaven - Prayer

Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be Your name...

You will know at last that I, the LORD, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.  No longer will you need the sun or moon to give you light, for the Lord your God will be your everlasting light and He will be your glory. The sun will never set; the moon will not go down. For the Lord will be your everlasting glory.

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven...

Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is shining upon you. Darkness as black as night will cover all the nations of the earth; but the glory of the Lord will shine over you. All the nations will come to your light. Mighty kings will come and see your radiance. In that day, I will make My Temple glorious! Your days of mourning will come to an end. Though you were once despised and hated and rebuffed by all, you will be beautiful forever. You will be a joy to all generations. For I will make you so.  They will call you the City of the Lord, and Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Look, I am creating new heavens and a new earth - so wonderful that no one will even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad; rejoice forever in my creation. And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people will be a source of joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem and delight in My people. And the sound of weeping and crying will be no more. 

Give us this day our daily bread...

Your godliness will lead you forward and the glory of the Lord will protect you from behind. Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as day. The Lord will guide your continually, watering your life when you are dry and keeping you healthy too. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.
For since the world began, no ear has heard, and no eye has seen a God like You, who works for those who cheerfully do good, who follow godly ways. 

 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors...

LISTEN! The Lord is not too weak to save you, and He is not becoming deaf. He can hear you when you call. But there is a problem – your sins have cut you off from God.  Because of your sin, He has turned away and will not listen anymore…The Lord looked and was displeased to find that there was no justice. He was amazed that no one stepped in to help the oppressed. So He himself stepped in to save them with His mighty power and justice. He put on righteousness as His body armor and placed the helmet of salvation on His head… “The Redeemer will come to Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “to buy back those...who have turned from their sins.”

 Keep us from being tempted and deliver us from the evil one...
Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don’t pursue your own interests on that day but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the Lord’s holy day. Honor the Lord in everything you do, and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly. If you do this, the Lord will be your delight. I will give you great honor and give you a full share of the inheritance I promised to Jacob, your ancestor. I, the Lord, have spoken!
O Jerusalem, I have posted watchman on your walls; they will pray to the LORD day and night for the fulfillment of His promises. Take no rest, all you who pray. Give the LORD no rest until He makes Jerusalem the object of praise throughout the earth....The LORD has sent this message to every land: "Tell the people of Israel, 'Look, your Savior, is coming. See, He brings His reward with Him as He comes.'" They will be called the Holy People and the People redeemed by the LORD. 

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

For I, the LORD, love justice. I hate robbery and wrongdoing. I will faithfully reward my people for their suffering and make an everlasting covenant with them. Their descendants will be known and honored among the nations. Everyone will realize that they are the people the LORD has blessed.  I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God! For He has dressed me with clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bride with her jewels. Because I love Zion, because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation blazes like a burning torch.
The LORD will give you a new name. The LORD will hold you in His hands for all to see – a splendid crown in the hands of God. Your new name will be the Bride of God, for the LORD delights in you and will claim you as His own. Then God will rejoice over you as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride.

Lord, hear my prayer.
In Jesus Name. Amen.
