Dallas Willard's paraphrase of the Lord's Prayer: “Dear Father always near us, may your name be treasured and loved, may your rule be completed in us -may your will be done here on earth in just the way it is done in heaven. Give us today the things we need today, and forgive us our sins and impositions on you as we are forgiving all who in any way offend us. Please don’t put us through trials, but deliver us from everything bad. Because you are the one in charge, and you have all the power, and the glory too is all yours-forever- which is just the way we want it!” Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
