a prayer

i carry this in my wallet. i typed it up on a card and laminated it. does this sound familiar?

Our Father, Who dwells in infinite light, and above everything, we proclaim You as Holy, and we pray now that You will reign here in every human's heart even as You reign over the heavens.

We pray that You will give us what we need to survive today and we'll count on You to do that again tomorrow.

We pray that You will forgive us for all the ways we fail to be Your children, even as we compassionately forgive those around us.

We pray You will not lead us in over our head, but by Your power You will deliver us from the one in control of this world.

So that in the fullness of time You should crush him, and every knee will bow and every tongue will confess You, who is now Lord, as Lord. In whose name we pray.

Amen.


fyi: i transcribed this from a "lecture." can you guess who the speaker was?
