Matthew 6:13

Save us in temptation, deliver us from evil,

After Jesus’ death and ascension to the Father it became the practice of many believers to finish this so-called Lord’s prayer by the addition of—“In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” Still later on, two lines were lost in copying, and there was added to this prayer an extra clause, reading: “For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forevermore.”

Deliver us from inertia, evil, and all sinful transgression.

Your kingdom come; your will be done

Hallowed be your name.

Even so, not our will but yours be done.

For yours is the glorious indwelling, the everlasting power,

“Father of all, whose Son we honor, look down upon us with favor. Deliver us from the fear of all save you. Make us a pleasure to our divine teachers and forever put truth on our lips. Deliver us from violence and anger; give us respect for our elders and that which belongs to our neighbors. Give us this season green pastures and fruitful flocks to gladden our hearts. We pray for the hastening of the coming of the promised uplifter, and we would do your will on this world as others do on worlds beyond.”

Our Father who is in heaven,

Even so, not our desires but your will be done.
