Here is an interpretation of The Lord’s Prayer that was written by James C. Lewis:
Our Father, who dwells with us, all-powerful is Thy nature. Thy perfection come, Thy good be done, in manifestation as it is in Spirit. Give us this day Divine ideas; and forgive our mistakes, as we forgive the mistakes of others; and lead us not in doubt, but deliver us from ignorance, for Thine is the perfection, the power, and the joy, eternally.
Amen.
I like this interpretation. But whatever prayer we pray, whether it is this prayer, the standard Lord's Prayer, or just the prayer of "Thank You," it is important that the prayer be from our hearts and an awareness of God as our source. As Unity minister Eric Butterworth taught, it is not the prayer so much as it is the "consciousness in which we pray" that is important.
My prayer for you today is that you live in an awareness of God's presence in your life: God's love as the essence of who you are, and God as the source of your prosperity. With this as our awareness, we cannot help but live with an attitude of gratitude.
