I cannot say Our
If my faith has no room for other people and their needs
I cannot say Father
If I do not demonstrate this relationship in my daily living
I cannot say Who Art In Heaven
If all my interests and pursuits are in earthly, material things
I cannot say Hallowed Be Thy Name
If I, who am called by God, am not holy
I cannot say Thy Kingdom Come
If I do nothing to bring about justice
I cannot say Thy Will Be Done
If I am unwilling to carry out God's will
I cannot say On Earth As It Is In Heaven
Unless I am ready to give myself to God's service
I cannot say Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
If I ignore the needs of others
I cannot say Forgive Us Our Tresspasses As We Forgive Those Who Tresspass Against Us
If I harbor a grudge against anyone
Icannot say Lead Us Not Into Temptation
If I choose to remain in a situation in which I am likely to be tempted
I cannot say Deliver Us From Evil
If I am unprepared to stand for the good
I cannot say Thine Is The Kingdom
If I fear what others say or do
I cannot say Thine Is The Power
If I do not show the power of God by loving others
I cannot say Thine Is The Glory
If I am seeking my own glory
I cannot say Forever
If I am anxious about my own daily affairs
I cannot say Amen
Unless I can honestly say, 'Cost what it may, this is my prayer'
