     I cannot say "Thy will be done" if I am disobedient to His Word.
     I cannot say "in earth as it is in heaven" if I'll not serve Him here and now.
     I cannot say "give us this day our daily bread" if I am dishonest or seeking things by subterfuge.

     I cannot say "deliver us from evil" if I do not put on the whole armor of God.
     I cannot say "Thine is the kingdom" if I do not give the King the loyalty due Him from a faithful subject.

     I cannot say "forever" if the horizon of my life is bounded completely by time.
