Tapping The Lord's Prayer

Many people are familiar with the Lord's Prayer. It is a staple of the Christian faith community. I recently prayer tapped the Lord's Prayer (as I know it, you may want to substitute the words you use for this particular prayer) and found that as I went through it the second and third time, I was connecting with the words in a new and powerful way. I invite you to try this simple tapping prayer and let me know how it effects you. Before you begin, imagine yourself connecting to the Lord's Prayer. On a scale of 1-10, (1 IS A LITTLE, 10 IS A LOT) how connected are you?




Begin at the
  • Karate Chop point--OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN
  • Top of head-- HALLOWED BE THY NAME...
  • Eyebrow-- THY KINGDOM COME...
  • Outer Eye-- THY WILL BE DONE...
  • Under Eye-- ON EARTH.
  • Under nose--.. AS IT IS IN HEAVEN--
  • Under Lip-- GIVE US THIS DAY, OUR DAILY BREAD
  • Collarbone--AND FORGIVE US OUR TRESPASSES
  • Underarm--AS WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US
  • Wrists--AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
  • Karate Chop--BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
  • Top of Head--FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM
  • Eyebrow--AND THE POWER
  • Outer Eye--AND THE GLORY FOREVER
  • Under Eye--AMEN
  • Under Nose--AMEN
  • Under Lip-- AMEN
  • Collarbone-- AMEN
  • Underarm-- AMEN
  • Wrists-- AMEN
  • Karate Chop-- AMEN.
  • Fold hands over heart and take a deep breath.
Take a moment to think about how connected you are to the Lord's Prayer. How has the Holy Spirit been moved in you? What words did you find yourself tapping on a little bit longer? Take some time to revisit those words and listen for how the Holy is calling you into a deeper relationship.

Peace,
Todd
