With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:
Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what’s best—
as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You’re in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You’re ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Eugene H. Peterson, The Message: The Bible in Contemporary Language (Colorado Springs, CO: NavPress, 2005), Mt 6:9–13.

9 Your prayers, rather, should be simple, like this:
Our Father in heaven,
let Your name remain holy.
10 Bring about Your kingdom.UGU
Manifest Your will here on earth,
as it is manifest in heaven.
11 Give us each day that day’s bread—no more, no less—
12 And forgive us our debts
as we forgive those who owe us something.
13 Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
[But let Your kingdom be,
and let it be powerful
and glorious forever. Amen.]

9 “Pray along these lines: ‘Our Father in heaven, we honor your holy name. 10 We ask that your kingdom will come now. May your will be done here on earth, just as it is in heaven. 11 Give us our food again today, as usual, 12 and forgive us our sins, just as we have forgiven those who have sinned against us. 13 Don’t bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil One.

A Meditation on the Lord’s Prayer
By Saint Francis of Assisi (edited)
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father
Most Holy: Our Creator, Consoler, Redeemer, and Savior.
Who art in heaven
In the angels and in the saints, enlightening them to know that you, O Lord, are light, inflaming them to charity; that you, O Lord, are love, dwelling in them and filling them with happiness; that you, O Lord, are the Supreme Good, the Eternal Good, from whom all goodness comes and without whom there is no good.
Hallowed be thy Name
May our knowledge of you become more clear, so that we may know the breadth of your blessings, the length of your promises, the height of your majesty, and the depth of your holy judgments.
Thy Kingdom Come
So that you may rule us by your grace and enable us to come into your kingdom, where there is a clear vision of you, a perfect love for you, a blessed companionship with you, and eternal joy and life with you in heaven.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
So that we may love you with our whole heart by always thinking about you; with our whole soul by always desiring only you; with our whole mind by always directing all of our intentions to you; and by seeking your glory in everything, with all of our strength and by exerting all of our energies and affections, in both body and soul, in service of your love and nothing else. And may we love our neighbors as ourselves by drawing them to your love with our whole strength by rejoicing in the good of others, by suffering with them, and by giving offense to no one.
Give us this day
In reverence, remembrance, and understanding of the love that our Lord Jesus Christ had for us, and of those things that he said, those things that he did, and those things that he suffered for our sake.
Our daily bread
Your own Beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Forgive us our trespasses
Through your indescribable mercy, through the power of the Passion of your Beloved Son.
As we forgive those who trespass against us
What we do not completely forgive, help us to truly love our enemies because of you; inspire us to truly pray for them before you; returning no one evil for evil; and may we strive always to help everyone in your name.
And lead us not into temptation
Hidden or obvious, sudden or persistent.
But deliver us from evil
Past, present, and yet to come. Amen.
