Pope Francis Wants To Change Lords Prayer
An interesting article at N.P.R.
​
Pope Francis Suggests Changing The Words To The 'Lord's Prayer' I suppose he can do that.
​
The reasoning is that the prayer suggests that God tempts us and the Pope says that is not biblical.

Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith

Re: Pope Francis Wants To Change Lords Prayer
So, if prayer works there will be no more temptation and no further need for confession.
​
God is like oxygen. You need to keep breathing...you never get a full dose...
​
Apparently we were designed so as to always need moments of reflection, contemplation, and I would argue dialogue with God, though some see it as silly. Ever watch Its A Wonderful Life? Do you recall the scenes where George Bailey talks with God? They are in my opinion not trite and silly. They are honest.
