Our Father, who are in heaven, hallowed be Your Name. Your Kingdom come. Your
will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
The above prayer was given by Jesus Christ as the ultimate prayer. God is everywhere yet we cannot see Him. A lot of people believe there is no God (atheists). Who created everything we see? The creator of the universe and earth is God. The above picture shows God creating.
God is a spirit. A spirit is true light. God's energy is limitless, endless, infinite. God is the creator of everything as it is mentioned in the Old Testament and the Nicene Creed. He created both visible: matter, the earth, humans and invisible: spirits such as angels, space. God gave spirit and made man. As the Bible says: "He breathed in his face the breath of life". God made man like Himself: "Let Us make man in Our image according to Our likeness" Bible, Genesis 1:26.
The question arises as to who created everything God the Father or Jesus Christ the Son. The answer has already been given it says: "Let Us make man in Our image". Plural is used indicating that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit made man and the universe.
God loves man. He gave him everything: paradise, trees, rivers, fruits He even brought all the animals to Adam to see what he would call them.This is the garden in Eden. Then the Lord said: "It is not good for man to be alone. I will make him a helper comparable to him". And God made the woman to be the wife of Adam. God ordered Adam and Eve that they might eat food from every tree in the garden but not from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve disobeyed and God cast them out of the garden. Disobedience of God's words is sin. When we obey God we are blessed when we disobey Him we are cursed Bible, Deuteronomy 11:26-28. Therefore God loves us when we obey Him and gives us everything we need but He destroys us when we disobey Him. When we commit sins we are separated from God when we repent we unite with God. God the Father is ruthless He ordered an Israelite King, Saul, to exterminate a heathen nation to kill them all, men, women, children, babies, animals. Saul, the King, showed mercy he did not kill them all and God removed him from his position and humiliated him Bible, 1 Samuel 15:3. God's commandments in summary say love God with all your heart, mind, soul and love other people like you love yourself. Justice, love, wisdom are one and the same: God. God intervenes to human history when people in repentance cry to Him when treated unfairly like His people in Egypt.
God loves humble people yet the idea I am a sinner so I am humble is false. There are people who prefer to sin so as to say: "I am sinner, I know it I am not proud I am on the right path". These people are in deceit. They wrongly argue that people in repentance are proud. People who are in repentance follow God's words as they appear in the Bible they can pray to be filled with the Holy Spirit and because they are in repentance God will fulfill their petition. When somebody is filled with the Holy Spirit he is humble he has humble thoughts. God is a jealous God. He hates when people worship other false gods and in time He punishes severely. At the same time He is a God of justice. He is the sun of justice because the commandments He gave make justice prevail. His commandments are just.
God created us to glorify Him to sing hymns to Him to pray and praise Him. Also He wants us to love Him with all our hearts, mind, body and soul and love other people as we love ourselves. He hates those who hate He loves those who love. He loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to be punished by crucifixion. He resurrected His Son and seated Him on a throne at His right hand side.
We can not understand, perceive God. Therefore we describe Him to what we understand He is not. Unperceived, unconceivable, immaterial, indefatigable, indifferent, apathetic, invisible, incomprehensible. If we are to see Him we will see a bright light not with our eyes just like Saint Paul saw Him. We would feel love so much love we would die because He is love 1 John 4.8, Exodus 33:20.

Lord our God, our all-powerful Father,
praise be to you, who created everything both visible and invisible. Scientists say that the stars in the universe are more than the grains of sand in all the deserts and beaches of the earth. Us compared to this enormous universe you created without sweating, we are so small, we are nothing.
Praise be to you, our all-powerful Father, who are infinite. To compare two values you divide one by the other, any number you divide by infinity is zero. If you divide us by you the result is zero. Compared to you we are zero, we are nothing.
Praise be to you, who are all-powerful, you turn the strongest man into ashes in milliseconds. Your acts of power are great (Psalm 150). Your surpassing glory is indisputable.
Thank you for keeping us alive, for providing us with food, clothes, and shelter, so we may live and glorify you.
We love you, our all-powerful Father, so much that we try to keep your commands. By keeping your commands, we prove our love to you (John 14:21).
God, our almighty Father, your son Jesus Christ told us: "Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." (John 16:23) We ask the following in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, your son, whom we worship*.
God merciful, your son Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, cleanse us, forgive us from all our sins and iniquities. Cleanse, wash thoroughly our whole bodies and souls from all our trespasses.
God, heavenly Father, let your kingdom come on earth now, and Jesus Christ, your son, reign now, and for ever (Matthew 6:10).
God, Sun of justice, direct us to keep your commands, guide us to be always in repentance, and to partake worthily the body and blood of your beloved son, Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:11), (John 6:48-51).
Father of lights, like you filled the apostles, in Jerusalem, with your Holy Spirit, fill us with your Holy Spirit** (Acts 2:4). Send and abide in us your Holy Spirit. Make us temples of the Holy Spirit.
God, our all-powerful Father, hear our cry like you heard the cry of Israelites, and you divided the sea and your people went through the sea on dry ground (Exodus 14:15-16), please, (submit here your requests), for You to be glorified (John 15:7-8).
God, thank you again, for listening to us, and for fulfilling our petitions (John 11:41-44).
Intercessions of the ever blessed, glorious lady, mother of God, for ever virgin Mary, of the lighting Archangels, and of all the Saints.
For Yours is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
*You have to worship Jesus Christ by keeping his commands, and by kneeling down and moving down your head to the floor saying: "Lord Jesus Christ, God's son, bless me your sinner and unworthy servant." Then stand up and repeat. The more you do the preceding action the better.
**If you want to be wise, ask God to fill you with his Holy Spirit.
