Probably every thinking person has tried to figure out some interpretation that could satisfy his innate sense of ethics. In fact, some years ago an Episcopal clergyman urged that the Lord's Prayer be revised. Certainly that attitude, rather than the weak supplication to be spared every enticement, arouses our manhood. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever . I understand that some authorities consider this phrase to be a later addition.
Man therefore has the responsibility to work consciously toward that goal.
In so doing, we discover that prayer becomes the performance of duty in the light of our daily responsibility to our guardian angel who watches over every aspect of our lives. To the degree that we cooperate with that divine Inspirer will we become an expression, not of our personal wills, but of the spiritual will of the Father within.
