10 Contemplative Days in the Lord's PrayerÀpẹrẹ

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, as we also have forgiven those who sin against us. Help us not to give into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, now and forever. Amen

There’s a time for goal setting, bigger purpose finding, and intricate calendaring; but sometimes it’s just about making it through another day! That’s what Jesus was meeting us in when he told us to pray for our “daily bread.” He wants to meet you right now in that which is most necessary, nourishment-providing, and life-sustaining, for you to make it through today.

Keep your prayers simple today. Skip the big picture. Focus on the now. Spend some time slowly noticing and praying that which is most needed right now.

For your body.

For your mind.

For your soul.

For your family.

For your career.

For your friends.

For your faith.
