My Prayer to the Lord

Sunday June 8, 2025

Good morning

Prayers  

Oh God,

Lord of the Starfields, Ancient of Days, Universe Maker

Where do you reside ? 

in heaven, 

in my brain

      or my soul,     

  or my Spirit  or nowhere,    like quantams

My prayers seem to go somewhere     

   but where do they land         in the trees,       

       on the stars           

     in the smell of the lilacs in spring,

I am assuming     that you do not stand still,           like protons     

              in the smallest parts of your creation.

I will offer the words to you,    \

 in faith 

   in hope   

        and in uncertainty

Our Father,     

who lives or exists in heaven or elsewhere   

Holy is your name for ever and ever.   

Your kingdom will arrive    

       hopefully today   

           but at least  by tomorrow   for sure !

 Your will,

or your strategic plan is all we have.

Continue to give us our potatoes, meat and bread 

  and please give to everyone, 

   all 8 billion of us.

And  forgive all my sins, obstruction, errors, terrors , transgressions and other awful stuff   

  and make me, cajole me, and demand of me to forgive everything of everyone else today

and lead me not to the devil, but to you,   and lead me from the devil, the evil one,     

 even when it is myself

  ( a paraphrase of the Lord’s prayer ).

AMEN
