Bible Interpretation
Meaning of the Lord's Prayer
Jesus called God our Father , yours and mine. Like Jesus, we are very near to God. The next words tell us just how near - in heaven. The spiritual meaning for heaven is everywhere present. Jesus was not talking to God way up in the sky - in a localized place - rather he talked to God which is Spirit, everywhere present... right where you see yourself right now.
Hallowed means holy, sacred, reverent. It is the name and nature of Spirit God. May God's name and nature express through my physical world as it does already in Spirit. May I be open, this day, to receive the physical and spiritual food that our Father provides May I let go of judgment and condemnation of others and myself; then I will know I am forgiven. God, You lead me always into a peaceful state of mind, and from this state of mind, I ask in prayer...

Meaning of the 23rd Psalms
|
Spirit God is intimately involved in our lives, in good times and bad. We can learn to trust this involvement and know that wherever we are, we are loved, supported and protected. We are never alone even in the toughest of times. When we know this we can move into states of stillness where we can hear God's wisdom.
If our minds are cluttered up with worry, doubt, or fear, we cannot hear God. We feel alone and uncertain. We can at any time calm our fears and move into mental states of stillness and from there solve the challenges of our life. This prayer is a promise that when we align our self with the nature of God - which is love, wisdom, faith, and power - and allow that to be our focal point, then all that we do is blessed continually and we need never be afraid of our circumstances.
Moving into a state of stillness is the starting point. Nothing now will harm you.

The Lord's Prayer
'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us... Mathew 6:9 |

Psalms 23
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
