I cannot say "OUR" if I live only for myself
I cannot say "FATHER" if I do not endeavor each day to act like His child
I cannot say "IN HEAVEN" if I am laying up no treasure there
I cannot say "HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME" if I am not striving for holiness
I cannot say "YOUR KINGDOM COME" if I am not doing all in my power to hasten that wonderful event

I cannot say "ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN" if I'll not serve Him here and now
I cannot say "GIVE US TODAY OUR DAILY BREAD" if I am dishonest or seeking things by subterfuge
I cannot say "FORGIVE US OUR SINS" if I harbour a grudge against anyone
I cannot say "LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION" if I deliberately place myself in its path
I cannot say "DELIVER US FROM EVIL" if I do not put on the whole armour of God

I cannot attribute to Him "THE POWER" if I fear what men may do
I cannot ascribe to Him "THE GLORY" if I'm seeking honour only for myself
AND
I cannot say "FOR EVER" if the horizon of my life is bounded completely by time.
