Our Father in heaven;
May your holy name be honored;
may your Kingdom come;
may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today the food we need.

as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.
Do not bring us to hard testing,
but keep us safe from the Evil One.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.

And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.

Father,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.

Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what’s best—as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You’re in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You’re ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Our Father who art in heaven,
Great Spirit, whose teepee is in the sky
and hunting ground is the earth,
Hallowed be Thy name;
All afraid of You and mighty are You called;
Thy kingdom come,
Ruler over storms, over people, and birds,
and beasts, and mountains,
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
Have Your way over all,
over earthways and skyways;
Give us this day our daily bread;
Find us this day our meat and corn,
that we may be strong and brave;
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
And put aside from us our wicked ways, as we
put aside the bad of all who do us wrong;
And lead us not into temptation;
And let us not have troubles
that lead into crooked paths;
But deliver us from evil;
But keep everyone in our camp from all danger;
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
For Yours is all that is: the earth and sky,
the streams, the hills, and the valleys, the stars,
the moon, and the sun; all that live and breathe.
Wonderful, Shining Mighty Spirit!
