I recall many years ago the inspiration to begin praying the "Our Father" in my contemplation of Him in this manner. No idea if this might be the product of inspiration for anyone else but me, but here it is. I take the solemn opportunity of my confession, and every opportunity for that matter, to look God straight in the eye professing that prayer in this manner, not only of my unqualified surrender to Him, but of the incessant profession of my faith which I am inclined to make to Him. "My God and Father in Heaven. You alone are utterly hallowed among Your holy Angels, Your beloved Saints, and all created beings compelled in loving You dearly. It is Your kingdom that will come, and Your will be done, here on earth as it is in Heaven. Become for us Yourself, dear Father, our only sustenance. Forgive us our many, many transgressions as we forgive those who have offended us. Do not lead us into the temptation of despair of You, our Father, but deliver us from all evil." Just sayin'
