"pray then like this"
Matthew 6:9
A "Co-Op" Prayer
I "put in my oar"* for fruitfulness**, friendliness and fun.
* This expression conveys giving assistance, being part of a helpful team effort such as rowing a boat.
(thanks to "NTC's American Idioms Dictionary" by Richard A. Spears Ph.D. for curation of this expression)
** Metaphorically, fruitfulness may include such endeavors as good music, art, dance, studying, cooking poetry, and agrarian activities themselves.
A Version of
"The Serenity Prayer"
for serenity we must accept
enough of what is,
what was,
what may be,
and be doing what we must because of it
"When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray
so that those who [may] see what is done in secret [the "peacemakers"*] would aid you."
Matthew 6:6.
* "Blessed are the peacemakers for they could be recognized."
Matthew 5:9
