Ek kan nie sê ‘ONSE’ as ek en jy net vir onsself lewe en na onsself omsien in hierdie wêreld nie.
Ek kan nie bid ‘VADER’ as John 3:3 nog nie waar geword het in my lewe en ek nog nie Sy kind geword het nie.(sien ook Mark 16:16) Ek kan nie bid ‘WAT IN DIE HEMEL IS’ as ek nog aardsgebonde is en aan aardse goed en goedere vasklou nie. (Kolossense 3:2) Ek kan nie bid ‘LAAT U NAAM GEHEILIG WORD’ as ek dit ydelik gebruik of toelaat dat dit geblasfimeer word sonder dat ek ‘n vinger verroer nie. (Exodus 20:7) Ek kan nie bid ‘LAAT U KONINKRYK KOM’ as ek nie op ‘n manier bydrae tot sendingwerk, dit nie finansieel ondersteun, of daarteen gekant is nie. Ek kan nie bid ‘LAAT U WIL GESKIED’ as ek altyd my eie sin wil hê en my wil af dwing op ander rondom my. Alles omtrent God gaan oor gee, maar ek en jy vat net? Ek kan nie bid ‘MY DAAGLIKSE BROOD’ as ek spandabelrig lewe en my geld verkwis sonder beplanning en die dag van more. (Maleagi 3:10) . Ek kan nie bid ‘VERGEEF ONS ONS SKULDE’ as my hart nie gebroke is oor my sonde en dwalinge teenoor God nie. (Kolossense 3:13) Ek kan nie bid ‘SOOS ONS ONS SKULDENAARS VERGEWE’ as ek met ‘n wrok in my hart rondloop teenoor iemand, selfs my gesinslede of familie of iemand by die werk. Ek kan nie bid ‘EN LEI ONS NIE IN VERSOEKING’ as ek met sonde speel bv, pornografie, tydskrifte , buite eglike vehoudings….sonde is legio, waak daarteen.(1 Petr 5:8) Ek kan nie bid ‘AAN U BEHOORT DIE KONINKRYK’ as ek nie bereid is om ‘n dienskneg, dissipel, dienaar van Jesus (Yeshua)) en SY koninkryk te wees nie. Ek kan nie bid ‘EN DIE KRAG’ as ek met vrees in my hart rondloop nie. (2 Tim 1:7) . Ek kan nie bid ‘EN DIE HEERLIKHEID’ as die eie ek nog my eie lewe wil regeer nie. Ek kan nie bid ‘TOT IN EWIGHEID’ as ek nie daagliks op Sy koms uitsien met ‘n Maranatha verwagting nie. EN…ek kan nie ‘AMEN’ sê as ek nie al bogenoemde kinderlik glo en leef nie. Engelse weergawe.
