Simple Prayer

Read the Lord's Prayer from Peterson's paraphrase:
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 with beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Try reading it for what it says without comparing it to the version you know.
I don't have anything too insightful about this except for...holy crap, it's simple! Man, my mission on Earth is way more simple than I make it. Mary has chosen the better way...
