How you must weep at the pain of our world today. The unthinkable actions of hate and ignorance and their terrible consequences.
Hallowed by your name.
Your holiness beckons us from darkness.
Your kingdom come
We long for the day when your kingdom will reign over all people, when darkness will vanish, and death will be no more.
Your will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven.
The evidence of life outside your will is plain, ugly and heartbreaking in the events today.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
Help us not to harbor bitterness, but to trust vengeance to you. Thank you for offering forgiveness when we do wrong.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
We ask for your angels to walk beside us, to surround us with your protection. Thank-you for deliverance from evil through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever.
Even so Lord Jesus, quickly come.
Amen
