This Wheel of Fire

Blog for James Ellis, PoD Candidate in the Presbytery of New England North West in the Synod of NSW & ACT. Blogging progress in my PoD from May/June 2009. Discernment is a continuous process. It goes round and round and comes to many conclusions and out of which come many actions. Through this discernment comes feelings of empowerment and inspiration from the holy spirit. Continuity can be represented by a circle or wheel. The Holy Spirit by fire. This Wheel of Fire :)

Alternate Lord's Prayer

Parent God with likeness of both Mother and Father

May you and your name be respected and honoured by all.

Allow us to assist in bringing your kingdom,

love, and grace to everyone in the world.

Provide for us what we need,

and help us to use our resources wisely and graciously.

Forgive us when our hearts are closed to you,

and give us the courage to forgive others.

Save us from the things that challenge us and set us off the path,

and lead us into a life worthy of living for you.

For you are almighty, great, awesome, peaceful,

gracious, generous, courageous, and inclusive,

AND may your love endure forever!

AMEN

Thanks Anita :)
I would love to try and use it in worship at one point ... but it may be a bit radical for some to grasp :P
