First Person Prayer by Raymond A. Foss
I wonder, if I read the ancient words, his words of prayer, of instruction How we are to pray this prayer that he taught us If I were to replace “Our Father”, with “My Father”, if I were to speak “Give me this day, my daily bread”, if I were to ask for the forgiveness of my sins, as I forgive others. If instead of the community of believers, if it really was my prayer. I pray that as I intone the words with my brothers, my sisters that it would ever be my first-person prayer
