The Lord's Prayer: a prayer for our explorations

As we move into a 5-week period in which
we will be exploring the Lord's Prayer, a prayer:

Creator God of limitless imagination, 
who fashioned the universe  and all the galaxies therein, 
who breathed life into being 
and formed the mountains and the valleys, 
the forests and the ocean deeps, 
and filled the world with creatures great and small; 
who, from the dust, created us in your image, 
and walked, and talked in dappled Garden-light 
with the first two of our kind: 
we come before you, awed by your power,
 inspired by the works of your hands, 
humbled, that you, who are greater than we can ever comprehend, 
wish to keep company with us - 
to hear the thoughts of our hearts, 
and to speak with us as friends. 
Lord, our God, our Father... 
teach us to pray anew the prayer that Jesus taught us 
and, help us to live it. Amen
