Our Father in heaven" -- I am a child away from home…
““Our Father in heaven" -- I am a child away from home. "Your name be honored as holy"--I am a worshiper. "Your kingdom come"--I am a subject. "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"--I am a servant. "Give us today our daily bread"--I am a beggar. "And forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors"--I am a sinner. "And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one"--I am a sinner in danger of being a still greater sinner.””
